Recommended checks before CU change

Former Community Member over 5 years ago

As most of you know I’ve only been qualified for just over a year and I’ve got a quote to do for a cu upgrade.

I know I’m nowhere experienced enough to do EICR’s yet, but what would you guys recommend I check/test before doing the cu upgrade and should I do these checks/tests at the quote stage?

I`d never do a board change before I & T

I cannot see how it would be otherwise.

You need to do your initial verification I & T, so you may as well do the dead tests before you take the old CU off the wall.

Of course this does present the slight dilemma that if you find that a circuit is non-compliant and the customer declines to have it remedied, would you reconnect it?
