Hi guys.
Could anyone offer any advice re having an old main fuse changed? I'm doing some remedial work and an EICR on a flat for a customer. The main incomer fusing is via an old, unearthed steel double pole fuse box with a broken door. I've told my customer I am not prepared to sign off the EICR while this is in place. Now the fun. The DNO have refused to change it (nothing wrong with that, it's old but perfectly acceptable) and the energy supplier deny its their responsibility (it's before our meter, contact the DNO). The customer is understanding but starting to think I'm being a jobsworth.
I've always considered double pole fusing to be unsafe and always changed it, but that was when I was in industry and I simply went ahead and did the work.
Do any of you guys have any advice or any reg I can quote to move this on? Been searching the yellow book but so far nothing of any significance.
