Landlord electrical safety certificate

Hi all, my father in law has a rental property that was completely rewired and with new split load CU five years ago. The installation is now due an inspection. Will the fact that the CU is plastic constitute a "fail"?

  • If you are taking a lead from Best Practice Guide 4 issued by ESF then the location is important. Under unprotected wooden stairs or in a sole escape route warrants a Code 3 according to them. Otherwise it is merely worthy of note, which they say should not appear on the EICR. Of course if there are loose connections or evidence of overheating then Code 2.
