    That Andy is complete rubbish. You say you carry out EICRs, well I think you shouldn't for obvious reasons. You simply do NOT understand the regulations! BS7671 is not saying that domestic installs must use a CU (they can use any switchgear they require). In a large house with perhaps 20 bedrooms and commercial sized kitchen, electric heating, etc, you would expect to install a CU although you have a 3 phase 200A head? You simply have a completely wrong idea here. Why can you not fit a CU? I expect you will have some difficulty finding out, despite having the CU standard in front of you!




    It clearly says “shall comply” and “and shall”.


    Where is it proposing an alternative?
