A lack of grommets can be potentially dangerous - we have no idea what kind of pressure the cable is under into the sharp edges. We also don't know whether it is protected by the sheath at that point. Depending on the circumstances it could be either a C2 or a C3 (or a C1 if it has caused the backbox to become energised which is also not earthed and therefore remains live). It might be no code if the plaster around it prevents the cable from coming into contact with it.9 - There should be grommets, but not potentially dangerous so should be C3.
Not potentially dangerous as the protective device will operate.A lack of grommets can be potentially dangerous - we have no idea what kind of pressure the cable is under into the sharp edges.
Then that would have been a non-compliance.We also don't know whether it is protected by the sheath at that point.
That surely would have been mentioned.Depending on the circumstances it could be either a C2 or a C3 (or a C1 if it has caused the backbox to become energised which is also not earthed and therefore remains live).

Only if you have really old crumbly black rubber cables or something drastically wrong, which you would think would have been mentioned on that document.I'm picking up that while the stuff may need sorting it's not that big a deal, certainly not a re-wire? Would that be covered by another bit of the doc?
Couldn't possibly agree with that reasoning. If that was the case then exposed live parts on RCD protected circuits would not be potentially dangerous as the RCD should operate. I can't subscribe to that view.Not potentially dangerous as the protective device will operate.
I am afraid a lot of 'electricians' are really not competent to do EICRs.
