Moving a consumer unit.

[dtec dave]

Question.. If a consumer unit needs moving by 1 metre and all the cables need to be jointed through, is a full EIC needed as if its's a consumer unit replacement? Cheers

I would say yes. As you'd be doing all the same things you'd be doing on a consumer unit replacement, and more besides.

And of course it would need notifying to building control.

As all EICs are!

As all EICs are!

Not all are.

Not all are.

Not in Scotland!

Amazing variation in what's notifiable.

If all the cabling has to be extended to the new position I would do an Eic amd treat it as a board swap.

if I could unscrew the board and move it across with perhaps only having to joint one or two cables I would be tempted to do no paperwork and just carry out some live testing on afew accessories
