UK Do I need to change to an 18th edition board when rewiring a house?

Not read the thread but if I was doing a full rewire, all accessories and switch gear would be replaced aswell. Also its BG.

Nobody is disputing that. But the OP's question is not should he, it's does he have to in order to be compliant.

Imo if it's been certificated as a rewire, and will be registered with labc as such, I think it should be done

Ok, is replacing just the cable and sockets classed as 'a new circuit' so building control has to be notified or it it an 'alteration to an existing circuit' ?
