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"?

    Can the client therefore stipulate any limitation they want?


    For example: do not inspect construction material of the consumer unit.


     Obviously not, but it’s only going to be a C3 with a recommendation to replace. Even if it did mean replacing consumer units to the latest regs would it actually be a bad thing? As to guilds the NICEIC expect you to code to there’s. I personally think we should go down the mot route and remove all personal views. Even NAPIT and the NICEIC have a couple of different opinions so it’s hardly surprising people come up with different views.
