is this report fair

[GaryMo]

a few of the other items highlighted are
4 installation in red and black core cable
5 main tails in 16mm
6 gas and water in 6mm
7 no sw wire on 2 strapping cables
8 no rcd (cables buried less than 50mm deep
all these down as code 4
this flat was built by the local authority 25 years ago nothing really as been altered and its identical to around 50 other proberty owen by the council yet reading the report its likely to go up in smok Any TIME

4 - Installation in red and black conductors - no problem at all if a mixed wiring label is in place.

5 - 16mm tails a code 4?
They're either big enough or not so it would either be a code 2 or no code at all. Depends on the size of main fuse and likely loading of the installation.

6 - Gas and water bonds 6mm - depends on your earthing system ( Is it TN-C-S (PME), TN-S or TT?), type of main fuse and Ze. Have a look at your report, under supply chracteristics.

Items 7 and 8 - code 4 as noted.

Of course the house isn't about to go up in smoke, but hopefully you can see that having at least any code 1 and 2 faults rectified is the sensible thing to do if you feel even the slightest duty of care for your tenants. If you have the electrician who carried out the PIR do the remedial work, he may be willing to reduce his price to account for the cost of the PIR.

1 mains earth in 6mm

Was an illustration of the adiabatic equation included to illustrate this?

It's something we could do if the OP tells us the type and rating of main fuse and Ze.

Well if it's something stated on the report then the sparky would have contributed it as evidence?

Well I do anyway

 

[GaryMo]

I agree but it would be interesting to see if it's correct.

4 - Installation in red and black conductors - no problem at all if a mixed wiring label is in place.

Why do you think it needs a warning label?

Sorry, for some reason I assumed there had been recent additions with brown and blue conductors.

If it's soley red and black conductors then no label required.

On refelction though I would agree with a code 4 due to the colours red and black not being any of the colours listed for line and neutral conductors under BS7671:2008 (table 51).

This merely means that it doesn't comply with BS7671:2008 but isn't dangerours as such. No further action required.
