Hi guys

Anyone know the BS numbers for the MCBs and the RCCB??

Are they 3871s???

Many thanks

Likely to be BS4293 for the RCCB and BS3871 for the MCBs.

The mcbs are 3871 however the type is not so obvious. Each device will need removing to establish this and they will either say;
3871 type C (yes type C).
3871 type 2
3871 with no stated type in which case it is type C as all type 2 devices stated so.
Latter replacement devices still be produced after the Crabtree C50 boards ceased production will be EN60898 type C although these are rare, only seen a couple.
Some say if the writing on the toggle is white then 3871 type C which is generally the case however the yellow written toggles can be type C or 2.
Where it states Part 1 on the side of the device this does not denote its type it is just Part 1 of BS3871.
The same applies to the rccb it is either BS4293 type C or 2.
