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?

    Someone must be responsible, as they are for the fabric of the building, testing of  the fire alarms, emergency lights and so on. The cost may fall back on the owners of the flats jointly via building management as part of the maintenance fee, rather like it would with the theoretical example of the wobbly banisters but somehow the relevant person or legal entity needs to be notified that their electrics are not up to par.

    But it is almost certainly not all the responsibility of flat 1 or whoever you are inspecting.

    The someone is the flat owners collectively...


    No Individual in isolation.
