JEFFERY CASE: THOSE GOOD OLD PLUMBERS…!
At times, it can seem to be the case that the electricians are seen as invisible to other trades, especially with our electrical accessories that could potentially be in their way.
In this example, the plumber has changed or installed a new boiler or water system and has not considered the electrical installation. With the installation of the new pipework, the socket-outlet needed to be installed into a new accessible position, but now we have a situation where the socket-outlet can no longer be used.
This could also cause a further issue when conducting periodic inspection and testing, where this socket-outlet could not be inspected, or any form of testing be performed.
Therefore, the classification code would be a C3, Improvement required, due to the lack of access to the socket-outlet.
