Landlord electrical safety certificate

Grumpy over 4 years ago

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 it was compliant under the regs at time of installation and there are no obvious safety issues now, like big holes or a broken case etc, then it’s a C3, the current regs don’t apply retrospectively.
