old rewireables..

[CSP2012]

Am I right in thinking that I can carry out a eicr on an old rewireable fuseboard? No install so technically I don't need RCD protection on anything...? I'd prefer to change it to a 17th edition board but customer wants to keep costs at an all time low.
Any thoughts welcome.

You can carry out an EICR on an electrical installation, domestic, commercial, industrial etc

Allow me to assist, an EICR is a Report, since when in a report does it require you to do anything to change it other than report on it?

What issues does the current board have to lead you to this opinion ?

Not sure you should be doing an EICR if you don't understand the concept

Thanks for jumping down my throat.. Appreciated. I did say am I right in thinking...not I can't leave it in.
Someone said you can't leave it in to which I argued you can but made me doubt myself.
I just think it's better to have an 17th edition board for safety. But! I wouldn't tell a customer it's a necessity to change it, like I have already have him his options and he has decided to go with just the eicr for the time being

I don't think it's how you asked, it's that you asked at all.

Ok thanks. I'll never doubt myself again. Thanks for the support

 

[telectrix]

it's a code C3 on the EICR.

If you had explained the full reason for asking in the first post then perhaps we would have a greater understanding and you'd have been forgiven but your mate slated for suggesting such drivel.

Maybe we shouldn't all jump to conclusions... But we live and learn. Thanks for all your constructive input
