When engineers inspect your property, they categorise findings into specific codes. Understanding these is essential for maintaining your legal "Satisfactory" status.
C1 codes indicate immediate danger, while C2 codes signify urgent potential danger. Either of these results in an 'Unsatisfactory' report, meaning remedial work must be completed within 28 days.
A C3 code identifies a non-compliance with the latest wiring regulations that isn't currently dangerous. A property can still receive a 'Satisfactory' overall rating even if C3 codes are present.
