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.

did one today. had a look at selects guidance notes on inspections.
C3 for non rcd protected sockets.
thats their take on it anyway.
the problem with inspections is that the unexperienced are going in to do these jobs with no clue what is dangerous and what is not.
we did have electricity before the 17th you know.
When i do them if its rewirable and the bonding and the disconnection times are fine its a c3 with a recommend to change board.
if the disconnection times are pants c2 but usually that means there is other stuff going on and its unsatisfactory anyway.
thats wasted on some in here....

Definitely, although most likely within the accessories. I've often found that once accessories are disconnected the cabling IR is fine. Sometimes...
