Mixed manufacturer devices in din rail enclosure.What code?

hertzal123
Have found out a catering company,I deal with fit servery counters in supermarkets and use Schnieder din rail

enclosures,3 pole main switch, 3 phase bus bar,and a different brand of mcb/rcbo.I assume this is wrong and wondered

what code it could attract on a condition report?If I constucted the unit using all Schnieder parts,would the unit still

have to be type tested by others?

    I had similar thoughts when I was under the counter in a fish and chip shop, there’s a very tidy box containing B2 MCBs and other similar devices for the frying range, but not all from the same manufacturer. I whimped out and excluded it as an appliance that is beyond the remit of the EICR, because the frying range is gas fired with an interlocked extraction system requiring training and registration that I do not have to work on it and to inspect.


    I have learnt to pick my battles, like when I did the PAT in a local church and the warden said the organ builders had requested that I didn’t fiddle with the organ, I pointed out it was SELV and said I would test to the transformer and let it go after that, which seemed to satisfy everyone.


    Are you going beyond the requirements of a fixed installation EICR and moving into machine and appliance regulations?
