Extent of Electrical Installation Covered by this Report.

Zoomup

A potential customer has just handed me a copy of an E.I.C.R. The reason given for the  extent of the report is:

“Consumer Unit Only.”

The report seems to be genuine regarding the information provided. The reason for it is that the house is let to a tenant. A basic Test Schedule is included.

    I believe that the 60 Amp fuse was the original from Noah's time. Very old and original. Complying with a 1953 B.S. printed on it. The seal was wire with a circular lead seal.

    I can't imagine anyone putting an 80 Amp fuse into a 60 Amp carrier where the carrier is clearly marked by the manufacturer as being rated at 60 Amps.

    Was a paper seal from the Supplier applied after you had determined this ?.

    No.

    Edit, add. But I had to prove the value of the main fuse as the tails were only 16.00mm2 in size, so if somebody had put a 100 Amp fuse in the carrier it would have been wrong. Also there was no isolator so I had to pull the main fuse to install the new consumer unit. An official  request for a new seal will be made when all work is finished.
