Characteristics of protective device?

"LIM" as you are not allowed to pull the main fuse to verify it

N/V as it is something which has not been verified.

"LIM" as you are not allowed to pull the main fuse to verify it

N/V as you are unable to verify.

N/V as you are unable to verify.

Agree with N/V but ask the assessor what do you do when you arrive at property and meter tails are undersized/ showing signs of deteriation/melting and property at high risk when you are carrying out consumer unit change? How do you isolate incoming tails without cutting ties to main cut out? He will like that question and you’ll get brownie points in asking ?

If it’s an EICR write LIM in the box’s and in the limitations write something about it being a sealed unit and cannot be verified.

Would not guess things on an EICR just to complete a section.

This information should not been too important (client should have details on install cert), if you need it due to meter tail sizes etc add a FI and state reasons.

If it is urgent then call the DNO there and then.
If it is not urgent then arrange a supply disconnection with the DNO.
