Mixed manufacturer devices in din rail enclosure.What code?

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?

Regards,

I don’t think many electricians realise you can get MCBs rated at half an amp, when I see such items in a box attached to an appliance I stop there and declare it beyond the remit of the EICR, so won’t be trying to attach EICR codes, unless there’s a clear and obvious issue.

Going back to the original post the major issue of devices from different manufacturers on the same rails is always going to be do they sit correctly on the pins?
