Board change

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
If a EICR has been carried out recently 4 weeks ago, if you change the board would you be required to carryout testing on all circuits or can you reference the EICR.

     the circuits have been in use for around 30yrs .... It could be due a full re-wire if the circuits are that sort of age.



    Why at the age of 30 is the wiring suspect enough to be condemned? Is this the "Logan's Run" approach to work generation?


    In my opinion, a board change requires a full test and classed as a new installation



    A distribution board change is a replacement , and does not "renew the installation". A marketing ploy, maybe, for the unscrupulous.
