MK make a retrofit kit to allow their newer range of MCBs to be installed in those boards.

Do these still comply? ... if OP is wiring a new circuit it will have to meet current regulations including the device fitted in the board been to BS 60898 or 61009-1... hmm I may be wrong but something wiggles in the back of my mind on this back in the days of domestic?

Yes it's a new circuit thanks for the offer think I'll call to the wholesalers tomorrow and see if they have a retrofit kit or a mcb that will fit thanks for your help guys

Does this device comply with regs ? Or will I need a separate board and rcd protected for my new shower circuit ?

I haven't seen inside the board not sure if it's in use just had a quick look just assuming it's being used for something

I haven't seen inside the board not sure if it's being used so I'm assuming it is and bringing the materials I may need

Ring them and ask if they have a shower already or a garage supply maybe - otherwise their isn't much else in a domestic needing this size mcb tbh, with it been unmarked it could indicate its not used or been disconnected.
