Consumer unit labelling

What labelling needs to be on a new CU?

Ive got the RCD/date of inspection/circuit info labels, I know i need a label for different coloured conductors.

Do I need a label on the MET? Also, the supply is through a DP isolator, does that need a label?

Ive got an Elecsa assessment shortly so needs to be right :crazy:

Thanks.

I don't leave a sticker with my name and number, but I do take a black marker and write ANDY WOZ ERE on the lid and accompany it with a crude illustration of a nob and balls.

Agree with Richard in post 6

and, most importantly, you can use the proliferation of stickers to hold the lid on when the pillars the screws go in break, blank off unused ways, even try to get a tripping RCD to hold.

I use PIRform for my certs - and this has the option to print off a circuit schedule, which I then laminate and pass to the client to keep by the CU. This includes my contact details.

I use PIRform but I didn't know that! Cheers for the tip!

The UK has somehow become this great lover of ''Stickers'' when it come to electrical installations, 99.9% of them totally unwarranted and/or pointless. I've seen domestic CU's virtually completely covered in the things. Apart from circuit designation, i think i'd remove the bloody lot on any property DB/CU of mine...
