Hi, I have recently had a couple of EICRs performed for rental properties and on the report the inspector has put the following coding of C2 as there is no SPD fitted.
“Inspection Schedule Item 4.20: Confirmation of indication that SPD is functional (651.4) is in a potentially dangerous condition. Urgent remedial action is required. ” - C2
The consumer units are standard 18th edition purchased at screwfix within the last 3 months with both RCD & MCB protection but with no SPD's. When I questioned this with the electrician that inspected, he told me that new legislation had recently come in that SPD's must now be fitted. Is this correct?
