Did a job last week, DNO added new 80A fuse and isolator, so I’ve tailed into new IP rated box that has 80A 60898 MCB that feeds another distribution unit, what certificate would you of done?
 
If I’m reading this right it would be an EIC
Sorry not a lot of info, 16mm tails and earth from isolator from DNO meter box to another little IP rated outside box which has 80A dp MCB which then SWA feeds another Distribution box for sub circuits

SWA wasn’t long enough and no joints kits so made IP rated box with switch and some tails and I’ve done EIC was checking
 
So you’ve added this cabling and mcb?
Oh no sorry cabling was already there, but they had new DNO cable put in I just added switch and tested
 
I’d have added a BS88 fuse /switch fuse isolator rather than a circuit breaker for better selectively of downstream circuits

Yeah true, although downstream has upfront 300mA RCD so no issues thanks anyway
