Yep, I agree that apart from item 43 there should be no code 4'sYou said building 5 years old and PIR done before 30st June 2008 which means tested to BS7671:2001 which was also in force when the building was built which means there can be no Code 4 faults.
I don't agree with the esc's guide to coding nor do I agree with the change in the NIC's guide. The NIC are now taking the view that if an installation has a code 2 it cannot be signed off as satisfactory. Why have a code 2 if it means the same as a code 1?So if we said for example.
Code 1 Requires attention
Code 2 Requires improvement with labels earths and locks
Code 3 Unable to test
Code 4 Low priority labels missing
Then it would seem OK (Note dropping of Urgent) but if one was to follow the Electrical Safety Council coding then with so many code 1 faults the building should have been closed down.
IMO a 1 code means that what has been tested or inspected is unsafe. It is also likely to start a fire or injure someone/live stock.
A code 2 means that what has been TOI is far from ideal but it is safe to use. It requires improvement ASAP.
A code 3 means requires further investigation ASAP
A code 4 means that the item TOI does not conform to a minor change in in 7671.
I tend to agreeTo have so many RCBO does not trip in time faults rings alarm bells as I have so many times seen those without their C&G2391 test RCD’s at tripping level rather than 5 x tripping level to measure time and being such a simple job to re-test I would start there to see if it has been done by a skilled or semi-skilled person.
Also what you show is not really a schedule of test results which would show RCD time in ms etc. I had a similar problem with a hotel and I had to make it very clear that without a copy of the schedule of test results I would need to do the PIR again this is still on going.

The PIR is very comprehensive and the schedule of test results are about 30mm thick!
There are quite a few obvious typo's but having entered hand written test sheets into Amtech I can relate to them.
