Not this guy, he's not even fitting dual ones!Who on earth is still fitting dual RCD boards
However, on the basis that the CU must be no older than 4-5 years, this should at the very least have a split load board. Therefore I'm giving the installation a C2 on this basis.
Ironically if this was a Wylex rewireable with an upfront RCD I'd probably give it a C3! (Depending on all the other factors involved, of course)
I feel slightly aggrieved that I'll essentially be carrying the can, and likely doing the testing for someone else's rubbish board change.
Out of interest, if it weren't an EICR, and you went to a job where someone had had a recent board change but had fitted a single rcd CU, or a plastic CU, or something else that wouldn't raise a C2 but still clearly shouldn't have been done under the current regs, how would you handle it?
Everyone is missing the point! A CU change is notifiable. Do the EICR , note any discrepancies and send the forms to Building Control with a covering letter and let them sort it out.
Don't rely on the trade body you are registered with to do the notification.Meanwhile tell the agents/landlords what you recommend to put the installation right.
SAFETY COMES FIRST, YOU HAVE A PRIMARY DUTY OF CARE WHICH OVERRIDES EVERYTHING

They wouldn't be Dave , they would file it in the bin as it wouldn't even be woth the paper its scribbled onWhy would building control be interested in an EICR?
An EICR is to determine if an installation is safe for continued use. You have stated this yourself (in bold). Whether the installation of the CCU had been notified is irrelevant.Everyone is missing the point! A CU change is notifiable.

They wouldn't. But they might be interested in un-notified notifiable works.Why would building control be interested in an EICR?
In my experience they have little interest in electrical work , how ever they can hold onto a building competition certificate until they get the part p notification. where this comes from or whom it comes from they couldn't give a ratsThey wouldn't. But they might be interested in un-notified notifiable works.
Only thing building control are interested in is the signature at the end, so that when things go wrong, there is someone to blame, other than themselves.where this comes from or whom it comes from they couldn't give a rats
