Wylex plug in MCB's

I have copies of a recent EICR and a follow up quote, these by a proven, registered electrician and are for a church, (C & G 2391 anyone?, and not the watered down version). The particular body is not relevant in this case, but the EICR is UNSATISFACTORY, one reason given is that fuses are not now permissible. ? There are around 5 Wylex fuse boards with plug in MCB's, these have gaps all around them because the original screw in covers over the original fuses, have been removed, being too shallow, so invalidating the IP integrity.

Wylex technical help say that they no longer supply these MCB's, but that the whole board cover should have been easily packed out, in order to accommodate the original cover over the plugin MCB's. (I don't recall any instructions to this effect on the consumer packaging for plugin MCB's).

How many of these doctored fuseboards still exist without these metal fuse covers, justifying a recall? I am thinking of the fatalities in a Glasgow care home, thought to have been caused

by a deficiency in the integrity of consumer unit.

More relevant, should suchlike electrical inspection reports only be carried out by a registered INSPECTOR, who must have a separate, periodic assessment?.
