EICR - Old Rewireable Fuse boards are these acceptable?

AJJewsbury:

I believe that this situation is in a residential mobile home park.

or perhaps in a brick shed housing the supply to them...?

"I need verification that it is ok to keep old style Wylex rewireable fuse boards to pass the EICR. Initially the electrician said this was ok providing they have a cover for the fuses. However he has now changed his mind and saying they need to be replaced with a new consumer unit. Some of the homes do not have a cover on the fuse board and others have had the cover taken off so plug in mcb's can be accomodated. Is this still ok?"
