I'll start this again when I've worked out how to add a picture - any comments welcome!

Thanks BD. EICR = Electrical Installation Condition Report. Five bedroom bungalow, test out out of time, mixed MCBs and they're Proteus! - C2 or C3?
What is EICR ?
I would be more concerned about the three electric showers.
could someone enlighten me as to why a mixture of different MCB's should be coded at all? If they are marked as conforming to BS60898 and physically fit properly what difference does it make? It can't possibly be a code 2I would class the wrong MCBS as a code 2 - they not designed for the DB
it states in manufacturer's instructions to only use there breakers, bs7671 says you need to take manufacturer's instructions into accountcould someone enlighten me as to why a mixture of different MCB's should be coded at all?

fair point but they are just covering their butts cos they don't test their own CU's with a mixture of other brands. A BS coded part should fit in any. So should it be a code 2????it states in manufacturer's instructions to only use there breakers, bs7671 says you need to take manufacturer's instructions into account

if they fit properly and everything is tight i wouldnt code it but others would and i wouldn't mock or argue with them about it.fair point but they are just covering their butts cos they don't test their own CU's with a mixture of other brands.
