Installation (domestic) without Service Head

Martyn
Canvassing opinion...


We have an Installation without its own service head fed from a 50s/60s ryefied/MSDB style unit.


The Ryefield/MSDB is inturn fed from a 200A Tp&n supply head belonging to DNO. No visible issues other than supply to MSDB being unsheathed.


The MSDB has no key or tool to open, has direct access to 70mm lugged cables with door closed. 


With door open for fuse access there are no barriers, all removed and lost. 


Service cables are single insulated, tails to meters insulated & sheathed direct in to this unit. 


EICR for one of the supplied flats, does it pass or fail?

    They cannot be responsible because the flat installation only starts after the meter. The BNO is unlikely to be them either, as then they could remove all the metering LEGALLY, as they own that part of the installation. In fact, I doubt that there is a BNO, it sounds as though this is all the responsibility of the metering company (whatever the name is this week). Why do you think this is the responsibility of the flat owners? It seems you are in the middle of serious snag shifting, but this is not really what BS7671 is envisaging by "supply equipment" eg the head and connected equipment.
