Reminer please as I've not been paying much attention to Part P changes - assuming that an existing install meets 2018 EICR 'requirements' - would a replacement swap of a faulty shower unit be notifiable works?

Work inside the CU requires notification I believe.

It still needs to comply with Part P though.
I would say no even if you add additional rcd protection or changed the protective device. If you rewire the circuit or significantly alter it then yes.

No. A new circuit, a new consumer unit, alterations or additions to any bathroom circuit. These are the only notifiable works in England.
But he's asking if it needs notifying.
has long has it got a rcd on the line .

Pedant! ?
I know the point you're making is that ALL electrical work in a dwelling has to be compliant with Part P of the building regulations, a point sometimes not fully appreciated.
But come on... you know full well the intended question was "is this classed as notifiable works, under Part P of the building regulations?".

I can't be arsed with this. Do we all have to check our posts now and make sure they are 100% accurate?

Yes, I do, but the conflation of Parts P and 3(12) of the Building Regulations ought to be resisted because it can lead to, as you say, a lack of appreciation that all electrical work in a dwelling has to be compliant with Part P.
The OP clearly asks if replacement of a shower is notifiable. Why make hard work of it?
It was quite clear what the OP asked let's not turn this into a ramble over what is Part P.
What drammer queen's.
“I’ve just changed a lightbulb..... do I have to notify under part P?”
Yeh, I know.... depends if it’s got additional protection.....
some may call it pedant...... I call it a pendant!

Part P says any alteration to a circuit in a special location, surly replacing the shower is an alteration, so would be notifiable?
Is replacing like for like an alteration?
Sorry I have just done something I hate most on here and not answering the point, My point is I don't think it is an alteration and therefore does not need notifying.

You're not altering a circuit, you're replacing a piece of equipment.

Non-notifiable work
2.7 Regulation 12(6A) sets out electrical installation work that is notifiable. All other electrical installation work is not notifiable – namely additions and alterations to existing installations outside special locations, and replacements, repairs and maintenance anywhere.
I read it as replacement anywhere, including within special locations.
