I feel most electricians will know how to inspect and test and how to write a technical report on what they have found.
All the time we see electricians here who can barely string two words together and remain coherent.
In some cases near opposite meanings as with "Decimate" which comes from the Latin and days of Roman's meaning to kill one in ten. Hence "Deci" meaning ten. However many now consider it to mean to get rid of nearly everything.
But those people are wrong.
Words like "need" and "dangerous" seem to mean different things to different people and really they need qualifying i.e. "Danger of electrocution" which of course is very different to "Danger of getting a shock".
Unless you go with the (utterly and disgustingly appalling) decision of the Oxford dictionary, of all institutions, to dumb themselves down to the level of the semi-literate idiots who think that "electrocution" means a non-fatal electric shock.
And so if the item is safe unless there is some one armed with tools I would say it's satisfactory.
And there's another oft-misunderstood word. How many people, when told that their performance or creations were "satisfactory" feel that they have been criticised? (As an aside, "adequate" is another such word).
Code 2 Would benefit from improvement but not dangerous. Satisfactory classification
May or may not be satisfactory (inspector's judgement required) I believe would be more appropriate.
The only problem then is it becomes subjective again. My definitions are trying to position it so that if it requires improvement to the extent it would cause an unsatisfactory classification it should actually be thought of as dangerous and therefore a code 1
But "satisfactory"
is subjective.
2 people might take the same second hand car for a test drive, over the same roads etc, and one might consider it a satisfactory vehicle, the other not - it depends on what their minimum acceptable standards are for performance, comfort, NVH etc.
Or I might stop for fish, chips & mushy peas on the way home, and regard it as a satisfactory meal. If I got the exact same food in a Michelin starred restaurant I would judge it to be far from satisfactory.
