i would reserve new installation for a complkete install/rewire. CU as alteration.
 
I normally put CU changes as new, due to the fact that I am fitting a "new" item. I not altering the wiring in any way.

Thats my take on it anyway, but I guess its your call and how you define it.

Awaiting to be corrected !!
 
Haha, love how everyone has a different take on categories. Maybe the IET could add a "New CU" box and make everybody's life simpler :)
Must admit, I normally have a new circuit to add whenever I carry out a CU change so I get the "addition" box to tick....but then again, it's an "alteration"........... :willy_nilly:
 
Alteration and annotated 'new CU fitted etc etc etc'.

and if the cables dont need to be extended ?
It does happen you know.
like I said, its up to the installer to decide in their professional opinion.
I dont think there is a wrong answer here

hmm....go on then....
 
Change a rewireable cu and to an 60898mcb / RCD type and you are affecting all circuits including ELI aswell as VD calcs altering the whole installation hence new regardless of pre existing wiring as its capability changes as a consequence .

Regardless of what you change, or what is affected, a new installation is just that... a completely new installation. That is what the form means at any rate, regardless of interpretation.

Can't see an issue. Self explanatary. You can always tick more than one.

As we often have to when online notifying :)
