Landlord electrical safety certificate

Grumpy
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"?

    That is being over pedantic Chris, it simply means old colours are perfectly acceptable. The regulations are not intended to be over-interpreted, and you would be hard-pressed to find an installation with no Brown-Blue somewhere, say a light fitting, anyway there could be a bit under the floor you didn't see!
