Just a quick note, the commentary was written on the 16th edn regs. We are now on the 17th edn regs.

Let's pray that you are not a practising Electrician
What he means is what you want to do is unsafe and would make ineffective important safety improvements brought in with the 17th edition regs.
Why? Were you hoping that you'd get advice saying "go ahead"?but I thought that I'd put it on this Forum,

You already knew that NICEIC say "don't do it", and via association so probably do the ECA and SELECT, but you didn't care for that advice, so you went looking for some which you did like.
And having not found any here, where will you try next?
I reckon he will be asking the same question right now over a glass of "wife beater" and getting the full approval to go ahead...
I being the person responsible for the Design, Construction, Inspection & Testing of the electrical installation (as indicated by myyea I know, but my reconning is that any safety improvements are better than absolutely NONE in operation at all,
Doesn't matter - there isn't a different certificate, or a more lax set of regulations, for work in your own home.and it's at my domestic home, so i am the "client" as well.

Construction, Inspection & Testing, hereby CERTIFY that the said work for which I have been responsible is to the best of my
knowledge and belief in accordance with BS 7671:2008 amended to .......... (date) except for the departures, if any, detailed as follows:
I really don't think that "well it's better than it was before" gives you sufficient justification to sign a declaration like that accompanied by a list of major departures.

131.8!!!
Err....not sure where exactly where your 131.8 is in this pdf
Don't you think that by now you should also have a copy of the Wiring Regulations?I am not Part P etc qualified, but are using the upgrade of my CCU as a "case" I have all the necessary equipment Megger 1552 etc)
What is this "Power Service Organisation" (with capital letters) that you keep mentioning?took the advice of the senior electrician at the Power Service Organisation

How did you plan to certify that your CU replacement complied with them if you don't know what they are?
And I've been meaning to ask...

OK, then...Ok, yes I will get a more recent copy of the regs. it's on the list,
No it's not.I know that the new CCU is compliant ),
Requested by whom?I've been requested to provide the full (current) tests of the new CCU and a test of the existing circuitry (with disclosed departures)
No - if they've told you that it is OK to go ahead and replace a CU when you are clearly not competent to do so, and knowing that even if you were competent any such replacement would result in a serious breach of the Wiring Regulations then they are not "authoritive" (sic), they're a bunch of dangerous buffoons.The Power Service organisation is an independant company who (based in Potters Bar) operate/co-operate with local Government bodies/ Councils etc (Building Control) etc and are thier Authoritive body etc for testing/checking conformity etc etc for them (the local Councils) on Electrical works.
