am I certified to Sign off fuse board?

[baza890]

Am I certified to sign off/do certs for a fuse board if I've completed my Level 2 and level 3 city and guilds (2365) electrical installation?

(have not done the regs yet or testing & inspection or the NVQ)

So basically anyone could change out the mcbs for rcbos no qualifications or notifications needed, fill out a minor work's job done.

Not anyone, I would say that anyone who makes any change inside a CU must be competent.
and you missed out a very important activity: TESTING! So, you'd need the appropriate set of calibrated
test equipment.
You know, minor things like, does the RCBO function properly, inside the trip times, stuff like that..

What about just changing the enclosure, from plastic to metal, leaving the rest as is ?

That is totally, and by definition, a change of the consumer unit. Full EIC and notification required.

Am not saying i agree with this just stirring up a debate

Would it be ok to surround a plastic consumer unit with a metal non-combustible enclosure, then change out the mcbs for rcbo ?

You are not going to make it less safe, and you're not adding any circuits, would this be notifiable ?
