EICR

Hello I have a fuseboard with fuses specifying BSEN60898 on them. Is the fuseboard compatible with the EICR or do I need to replace it?

    specifying BSEN60898 on them. Is the fuseboard compatible with the EICR or do I need to replace it?

    BS EN 60898 is the current up-to-date standard for miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) - so nothing wrong there. That's not to say that the installation or even the consumer unit (fuse box) is up to current standards though. These days some circuits should have RCD protection as well as MCBs (e.g. devices to BS EN 61008 or BS EN 61009) and in some circumstances a lack of those could result in an EICR ‘unsatisfactory’.
