hello there, on a periodic test if the lighting circuit was not rcd protected would that be a code 2 or 4 thanks

I thought you were doing an EIC?

Are you sure you're a 'spark'!?

different job!!!

When was it put in/CU replaced...

if it was done to 16th (or previous) then code 4

if it was done to 17th then code 2

thanks mate

Should you be charging for your services?

This is wrong.

The time it was installed has no bearing on the code. If there is a fault, then it's a 1 or 2. The lack of RCD on it's own is a 4.

If the PIR was done before the 17th, RCD protection was not required.
Therefore no code.

what that meant to mean? soft lad there is to many smart a**s on here i asked a question just answer it>

there is to many smart a**s on here

Theres one more now.

thanks scousespark

Scousespark,

That's wrong too!

The PIR is done to the current regs so no RCD where there should be one (in the 17th) is a fault, done to 14th, 15th, 16th or 17th it doesn't matter!

EDIT oops sorry misread you! But I don't think the code changes, would normally be a code 4 even if it was done in the last year, IMO.

If a PIR had been done before the 17th came into force, no code would have been required. The RCD requirement only came in with the 17th.

 

[skenk]

Yeah sry -hence the edit. IF the PIR was carried out before the 17th came in then obviously it would have been carried out to the 16th.

The coding is dependant upon when the PIR was carried out.

The regs applying at time of install is totally irrelevant as far as the PIR is concerned

Depending on the wiring type and where the circuit is installed, an RCD might not be required at all, so may not need any code on a PIR
