we are currently completing an EICR on a currently redundant ambulance station soon to be re-opened.
The budget for the works is very tight after reading the scope, the PC for the job has said if items do not need upgrading then do not do them.
the scope stats the consumer units should be upgraded due to lack of rcd's and this will cause it to fail and EICR.
i know from previous PIR's this is not the case.
you do not need the installation to be up to current regs as long as its safe.
we have been asked to install a new kitchen ring so i know we need an rcd for this,
need some guidance on cheapest methods of going about this to safe the PC money and for us to not recommend work that will not need doing.
a suggestion was made to use dual rcd boards, but in commercial properties i prefer individual RCBO'S but again this increases costs.
help??
