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"?

    nothing precludes a  metal box around the plastic one  may not be the electrician's preferred solution, as it makes no new work for him/her  but easy to show it now meets the regs.


    Buscuit tins have their uses. I do remember some years ago, burglar alarms external bellbox were biscuit tins.


    Yes, some would modify a used biscuit tin and stick a bell or sounder in it
