ELCB confusion

[Stevesplatto]

Hi,
Completing an EICR on a local authority property.
The main switch is an MK 'Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker' rated 60amp 30ma. Of course it's not a true ELCB its actually an RCD or current sensing device, see:
ln5760 | eBay
for an example.
My question is I cant see a BS number on it, does anybody know for the report? Tried googling without success.
Many thanks
Steve

I suspect its the older Bs number 4293

If it an older model I would have gone for BS 4293 to be honest Tel

Twas in the good year of our lord 1977 TEL,well before MK lost the quality tag
