    CU change and brown sleeving

    Hi people, not sure this is the right section, but if I chose to do a CU change for a Part P scheme's assessment, I know I don't become responsible for the entire installation but is it my responsibility to ensure brown sleeving is placed on every switch live throughout the installation?
