C2: Potentially Dangerous, Urgent Remedial Action Required
Potentially dangerous may or may not lead to the condition of the electrical installation as being deemed unsatisfactory.
C3: Improvement Required
Items marked as C3 do not comply with current regulation standards but are not viewed as being dangerous. You can have a number of C3 items listed on your report and your electrical installation would still be viewed as Satisfactory.
