EICR requirement prior to CU change?

[peterhyper]

I agree that it's best to do an EICR before a CU replacement, but is there an actual regs that dictates that an EICR 'must' be conducted prior to a CU change?

Thanks all and some good points made. So my question has been answered in that whilst an eicr is considered best practice and recommended prior to a CU replacement, it is not an actual requirement.

Only problem with doing an EICR before a CU change, is the EICR might not recommend replacing the CU.
