Non-bidirectional RCD/RCBO feeding sockets, should they get a code C2 with EICR?

[JohnW2]

here are a load of things which can be plugged in which do not even conform to BS 1363. Never seen one of these <image> marked with BS 1363, and I have seen a website called fatefully flawed where they point out the dangers, so all we can do it put them in a bag and present to owner to bin them.

Yes, we obviously all know that, since we've done the topic to death in the past - although it's not that easy to really get a proper feel for the issues/'dangers', since the material and arguments presented by "Fatally Flawed" are not exactly 'objective and unbiased'.

As to condemning sockets which had them plugged in as the socket could be strained as a result of fitting a non BS 1363 items, I think that is going too far.

Indeed, but that illustrates the folly of coding things on an EICR which 'might happen in the future' - in both cases (plug-in inverters and those plug/socket thingies) anyone could buy (and 'plug in') one of the items the day after the EICR, but one can't code every installation because of that possibility!
