Landlord's EICR query

[OldSparks]

Everyone is missing the point! A CU change is notifiable. Do the EICR , note any discrepancies and send the forms to Building Control with a covering letter and let them sort it out.
Don't rely on the trade body you are registered with to do the notification.Meanwhile tell the agents/landlords what you recommend to put the installation right.
SAFETY COMES FIRST, YOU HAVE A PRIMARY DUTY OF CARE WHICH OVERRIDES EVERYTHING

I don't think anyone is missing the point. We know the CU has been changed at some point, maybe as long as 5 years ago. We also know there may never have been any paperwork issued.

Why would building control be interested in an EICR?

An EICR is to determine if an installation is safe for continued use. You have stated this yourself (in bold). Whether the installation of the CCU had been notified is irrelevant.
All you can do is comment on the current installation's condition, and if required apply codes and/or make recommendations based on improving the safety for continued use. The inspector is not there to police or do anything about it.

They wouldn't. But they might be interested in un-notified notifiable works.

In my experience they have little interest in electrical work , how ever they can hold onto a building competition certificate until they get the part p notification. where this comes from or whom it comes from they couldn't give a rats

This doesn’t warrant a C2

Going by your logic most consumer units I test I’d have to give a C2 as most aren’t full RCBO with SPD

 

[Dustydazzler]

If you C2 all RCD boards then dual RCD boards will be C2 as well , which as you say we would be C2ing a lot of fairly new builds

Only thing building control are interested in is the signature at the end, so that when things go wrong, there is someone to blame, other than themselves.
