If I was working on a lighting circuit, and the IR test came out at 0.8M, would I not be able to carry out the work on the circuit until it had been rectified? Also if that result came out on a periodic what code would it be?

IR test too low
- Thread starter ncoups
- Start date
Did you remove the neutral from the neutral bar?
Did you remove all lamps and control gear?
Did you remove all lamps and control gear?
Any switches with neons, ELV transformers or dimmers still in the circuit?
Burglar alarm tapped off the lights?
Outside light with a damp problem?
Periodic, I'd code it as 3
You can't carry on working on that circuit, as the minimum required IR is 1.0MΩ for a 230V circuit, so you can't sign this circuit off as being compliant with BS7671 on your EIC / MEW
