IS there a minimum distance between the consumer unit and waste pipe. The waste pipe is on the left of consumer unit.

Is this part of the EICR property from your other thread?

yes - so i need to replace consumer unit. However, does it need to be relocated to meet regs?

Would help if you kept this to the other thread.

We can leave the other thread as “electrician hasn’t given me the report” problem and have this one to discuss what’s actually cropped up on the report…

You don’t actually know what’s on it as you haven’t got it…. Was it just the tester saying you needed a new board without explaining why?

The two boards there could possibly be amalgamated into one, bring it over to the right hand side, away from the drain pipe.

Do you know any other faults?

A satisfactory EICR can have C3 coded faults. Simply means improvement recommended.
Unsatisfactory would be C1 - dangerous or C2 - potentially dangerpus.

As the property is a rental, there is also the safety of the tenants to consider.
A C3 may well be ok for the report, but perhaps should be upgraded anyway.
