Bloody hell I thought I was going crackers here. Just realised it's from 2015 !

Why are you being asked to replace the CU, what does the EICR say about the CU?

The customer would just like a more up to date consumer unit, would it need an electrical installation cert if the periodic report was done of the 21st October 2016

Is this a serious question?

What should the installer do when replacing a CU?

Rare customer! I think you mean an EICR rather than an installation cert?

Haha, no it's a different job. I forgot how to write a new post

May not belong to one Murdoch!!!!!!!

Thought it was getting a bit strange. from 2015 to 2017 still my question still stands

I realise that..... next he's going to say "whats Part P"!

How can anyone who works as a spark not understand the certificate requirements of doing jobs is beyond me....

The profile might explain the question a bit more take a look

You need to inspect, test and certify every circuit you have worked on. So if replacing a CU that is every circuit connected to it (incoming and outgoing)

This is getting confusing, my head hurts now. I'll ask again what does the EICR say about the installation?

 

[DPG]

Yes, come on sparky928 - what were the points raised on the EICR?

The installation of a replacement consumer unit requires the completion of an Electrical Installation Certificate.
The previous work done of any sort is immaterial.
The EICR would be a useful check to compare your test results against to ensure that there had been no major deterioration (or changes) over the last six months, but that is all.
