[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 501659, member: 1408"] Asked to do an EICR on a rental flat in the city , landlord is a neighbour, he,s reacting to the new law on testing rentals . I've done some work there before , kitchen refurb. I'd say 15th edition , wiring red & black , all in good condition , a metal Bill Talisman board l board .......................but the nearest RCD about 15 miles away . Commercial , purpose built apartments . My question is : I couldn't see any way of declaring the installation "Satisfactory " without RCDs . The cost of fitting RCBOs or pods to fit this board , at £50 to £70 each was out of the question so we agreed to change the board . Was I correct in thinking that . I know we are told to "Test to the 18th edition " but how can anyone actually do that if its not an brand new install . ? [/QUOTE]
