Yes they only inspect after by way of audit. Me as the installer is mandated to check prior to installation. If upon audit they deem the existing installation has work that needs to be rectified then yes they do instruct it is done.So they only instruct after an installation has been completed and upon inspection, if one is carried out, not on the existing installation prior to work starting, which is how I read your post 5278, thanks for clarifying that point.
I know of 2 people who were told to liaise with the DNO to get a cutout up graded and they also had to upgrade the tails.
They’re not expecting a full EICR. But they are expecting the installation to be in a suitable safe condition for the charger to be added.
Also as an installer you have to be able to say yes to the statement in the ENA form that says
"I confirm that the existing installation is in accordance with the current edition of the Building Regulations Part P (Electrical Safety – Dwellings) and in full compliance with the requirements of the current edition of the UK wiring regulations (BS7671)"
C2 Codes are not in accordance with either part P or 7671.
