So you are doing an EICR next year and you are inspecting a consumer unit with these 2 "makes" of RCBO's in it ...

^^ er and your comment is?
Some people will do anything to keep the top poster of the month.He does that all the time.
Same manufacturer in the op picture but I agree with your comments regarding different brands usedThe manufacturers of those two RCBOs have made a conscious attempt to differentiate them selves from each other by branding them differently.
It's not for the end user, installer or even inspector to jump to the conclusion that just because both manufacturers have used the same style of casing, which may well be made by the same manufacturer, that the product inside is exactly the same - I think I would struggle to form a decent court-worthy argument that the reg relates to the manufacturer of the casing and because they look similar the different brands can be ignored.
Substituting a product which looks similar but carries a less well known brand is almost always done for financial reasons and I think a judge or jury would be likely to pick up on that.
C3.
It’s an issue that deserves attention now and not only when the 18th edition is in full force
I report on them all the time.I've given you a disagreed because I don't think I've ever seen an EICR where different OEM parts have even been commented on , let alone coded
I report on them all the time.
I had a Hager rcbo stuffed into a 3 phase dorman Smith DB which did not line up on the bus bar properly so it was coded.
As the rcbo did not fit on the din rail and the cover had been filed so it fit then I applied a C2 in that case.What code did you apply?
I don't have one I did have one, but thought better of it and pressed the button, does that answer your questions, Murdoch and Anthonybragg and to add I couldn't really give a ---- about top poster, so that remark was uncalled for.^^ er and your comment is?
