I just copied the Health & Safety template from the hse website and their layout for risk assessments, which you only need if you have over 5 employeees.
So, I’ve got the new board fitted and some of the tests completed, but as I envisaged, there are a few faults.
It’s a TNC-S.
Downstairs sockets, no continuity on L & N, 0.53 on cpc. Tested the L at sockets coming away from cu using my wander lead, all sockets in living room and in to the...

Tomorrow I’m changing my consumer unit in preparation for my NICEIC assessment on 13th November and have a few queries.
Firstly, current cu only has 4 circuits sockets up & down and lights up & down, so hopefully a pretty straight forward swap.
I can unplug 95% of loads on both ring finals...
