Quick question. I have carried out a partial rewire, the client did not want a new consumer unit and so remains the plastic one. I noted on my EIC under comments on existing installation:
The existing consumer unit whilst in fair condition does not comply with regulation 421.1.201 if BS7671 :2008 AM3 2015 as it is not manufactured from non-combustible material.
However, on the schedule of inspections, item 7.4 - Suitability of enclosure(s) for IP and fire ratings (416.2; 421.1.6; 421.1.201), since we can only put a tick or N/A, I assume a tick does not mean it is ok, it just means it has been inspected. I.E. I tick it, I have inspected it and I have commented on it, all ok? OR..... by ticking it am I saying the enclosure is suitable?
