Extent of Electrical Installation Covered by this Report.

Zoomup: 
The E.I.C.R. covers just a two up, two down Victorian terraced property in Norwich let to a single gentleman. The inexperienced worried owner is a nervous lady who just wants to do what is right. She employed a letting agent to get the E.I.C.R. undertaken, but the sparks that undertook the I&T is not available to do a consumer unit change. The consumer unit has a 100mA R.C.D. and B.S. 3871 O.P.D.s. I haven't seen it yet.

The main bonding is in 6.0mm2 cable. It may be very difficult to upgrade easily.

The report limits its extent to at least 20 per cent of each circuit as a limitation.

The report shows an Unsatisfactory condition. The form is headed Stroma Installer Certification, E.I.C.R. The inspector is the director of a limited company. The bottom of he cert. says created by NAPIT online. Copyright 2021.

Sounds like another one for DZ's little black book. So the extent is, in fact, more than the (ancient) CU. Sampling 20% of each circuit may be appropriate elsewhere, but not in this case.

Opinions probably differ, but in my view a CU should not be changed without first having ensured that the rest of the installation is fit for continued use.
