Hi guys my friends ask me to replace his consumer board Ive been qualified for a year or so have my nvq level 3

So you say that

There's no one living in it at the moment so power can stay off if there is a fault

Then you say you're going to rely on the bang test.
Aye, fair enough mate.

"HELP my RCD keeps tripping .............."

if its notifiable work, you'll have to be with a competent person scheme, if your just changing accessories like for like then not, consumer is notifiable...

Not strictly true.

Hi all
before part P came in what did you do on a CU change we did the same as every body else 16th edition install all circuits turn it on if RCD holds the system was fine.
Only difference now is part P & don't get me wrong I am all for it as long at it policed properly which it's not. I still know people who do cash installs who do a couple of test mainly LE Ne M ohms & earth tests & F... All else. It still goes on.

Part P or no Part P, I wouldn't install a new CU without some pre install tests, nor miss out all the circuit testing, nor issueing an EIC.

I can assure you that before part p was introduced the vast majority of electricians worth their salt did exactly the same as they're doing now.
Pre tests, CU change, full test, cert.
You're talking utter nonsense and if that's what you used to do then you should hang your head in shame

I would agree with you 30 odd years ago, and I won't say why just yet (privatisation is the clue).
