Communal DB does it require RCD protection to be a sat EICR

Is it domestic though?
Aside from the lighting this doesn't make much difference.

i am the electrician. thinking of a way to pass this eicr without having to replace the communal DB , might have to tell the customer its a db change

When carrying out an EICR you need to remain impartial and report on the installation accurately.

Attempting to alter the outcome to suit the customer's, or your own, wishes is a corrupt practice.

Whatever the outcome of the EICR you would be advising the customer to consider improving the situation in that picture. For me one of the biggest issues there is the poor access to it all.

Think this is the relevant point. When I queried a similar scenario with Napit technical a year or two back I was advised that the communal lighting was not necessarily domestic in which case you are only coding for cables being less than 50mm deep (if that is the case).
