In the process of doing an EICR for a rental property (probably an HMO).

Really old CCU that has exposed live parts once the lid is removed and so would need to be super careful testing as there is no other isolation except the 100A tagged fuse.

Don’t feel comfortable doing any further tests because of the safety nature (am I a wimp).

But it occurred to me that surely this should definately be a new board upgrade job if it’s in a HMO property?

Thoughts??
 
Did you take any pics? Of the CU that is.....
 
Yes you’re right.

No isolation other than tagged fuse which I’m sure some may just pull but I’m trying to do things by the book. So incoming expose live terminal too close for confort to where I would be removing neutrals etc..

Does that sound like a reasonable decision to make?

Do the EICR, note everything on the EICR report form, plus as a Bum covering excercise, list all salient dangerous findings, and your recommendations in a covering letter, copies of the Report, recommendations and your covering letter to the Land Lord and the Tennant, if you are a member of a scam wouldn't hurt to bung them a copy as well, it may help.
 
Copy to client is all that is required.
OK I was just thinking how much the OP was / is
concerned, the more people informed of the issues, the more fuss you can make, but yes you are completely correct, just one copy to the client is the requirement.
 
Just do a proper EICR and submit out with your invoice ......

What exactly is the problem, just turn off the main switch on the fuse board

As soon as the Sparky closes the door on his way switch will be back in the on postion, cut the seal and pull the fuse, how dare you Pet999 go stand in the naughty corner,
