EICR - Old Rewireable Fuse boards are these acceptable?

Former Community Member

Hi, 


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?

    How’s that for a cracking bit of electrical engineering?


    It wasn’t the one I was actually looking for ?


    It is missing its grey coloured insulated switch plate that prevents access to live parts, and a cover for the fuses. Very dangerous.
