Electrical Coding decisions: If you think of any more please give a suggestion or message Harry

Regulations must be followed for installation but are advisable for EICR'S depending on time of install, the main thing is to make sure the property is safe for continued use, so if something doesn't follow the regs but you believe it will be safe to use it's a C3, possibly dangerous is C2, immediate danger is C1.

Whoever sign's the report is responsible for the electrical safety of the future of the property they're testing.
