<br />
<span class="searchword">Changes</span> to the <span class="searchword">Periodic</span> <span class="searchword">Inspection</span> <span class="searchword">Report</span>, which come into effect on <span class="searchword">1st</span> <span class="searchword">Jan</span> 2012 represent a major shift from the 17th edition of the Wiring Regulations. The new <span class="searchword">report</span> will be called the Electrical Installation Condition <span class="searchword">Report</span> (EICR) and will contain new codes and definitions which will require action. The four observations within the old PIR were:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Code 1. Requires urgent attention <br />
Code 2. Requires improvement <br />
Code 3. Requires further investigation <br />
Code 4. Does not comply with BS 7671:2008<br />
<br />
The above have now been replaced by three new codes with the intention of making it clearer to companies what needs to be carried out and to help make reporting more consistent between inspectors and making priorities clearer. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">They are:<br />
Code C1. Danger present - for example, bare live wires which can be easily touched<br />
Code C2. Potentially dangerous - for example, RCD did not operate correctly when tested<br />
Code C3. Improvements recommended - for example, no 30mA RCD to offer additional protection of electrical socket outlets used by non-skilled/non-instructed persons </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The existing PIR Code 4 will no longer be used<br />
<br />
Any observations given a new code of 1 or 2 classification, will result in the overall condition of the installation being <span class="searchword">report</span>ed as ‘unsatisfactory', whereas under the PIR only a classification of 1 requires urgent attention and would result in the overall assessment being unsatisfactory.</span>InSitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09970308422037826504noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1689402885791077950.post-19986564220342898292011-11-07T03:31:00.000-08:002011-11-07T03:31:48.186-08:00Project Solver Scoop Trainee Award<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: xx-small;">27th September 2011, Royal Horseguards Hotel, London SW1.</span><br />
