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"?

    We could desist from calling it a "Landlord electrical safety certificate" if it is an "Electrical installation condition report".


    Therefore the regulations governing the issue of an (18th edition) EICR and the required actions following it apply.


    The legislation doesn't actually refer to an EICR, it calls it "a report from the person conducting that inspection and test, which gives the results of the inspection and test and the date of the next inspection and test".  It's really vague as to what inspection and testing should be carried out.
