Well, no 'objects' are notifiable, but as I am sure (at least, hope) you know, replacement of a CU is notifiable.
Strictly speaking, in view of the poor wording of the legislation, installation of a new CU (i.e. not replacing an existing one) is not notifiable in England (although it remains notifiable in Wales) - although, in practice, it would usually (but not inevitably) be difficult to do that without creating 'new circuits' (which would make the job as a whole notifiable).
What exactly was the point of your question?

Yes I had that a long time ago. Done the update in Janurary.
Ok thanks

You said that amendment 3 has no impact on notifiable work. Well considering the major change in consumer units needing to be non-combustible I would say that amendment 3 has direct consequences.
That has nothing to do with notification.
As you are new here, do you know what "non-combustible" means in the case of the new regulations?
NO one else does.

I'm beginning to wonder whether you can read. I said that Amd3 (or, come to that, any other version or amendment of BS7671) has no impact on "requirements for notification" - which it certainly doesn't. Only the law (the appropriate clauses of the Building Regulations) determine the requirements for notification - which is a legal, not an electrical, matter.

If he didn't know before, one hope that his "Amd3 update" will have taught him! ... so, as you imply, we must all wait with bated breath for him to educate us all!

I am aware of some silly people that cannot open a dictionary.
adjective
made of material that does not burn if exposed to fire; incombustible.

With respect you have no qualifications or experience (by your own admittance).
Oh dear - if only it were as simple as that. Are you just naive, or what?
The main question is whether passing the "non-combustible" test of BS EN 61439-3 (as required by 421.1.201) (but which obviously does not mean 'totally unable to burn if exposed to fire') is enough to satisfy 421.1.201 and, if so, why they have bothered to include 421.1.201(i)? ... and, if not, what on earth is the requirement, if it goes beyond what is required by the Standard?
Kind Regards, John
Your arrogance really knows no bounds, does it? John is without a doubt one of the most knowledgeable, helpful and reasonable people on this forum. Quite the opposite from you, in fact.
So what? I appear to have a better understanding of some aspects of the regulations and of the legal requirements for notification than some people who do have 'qualifications and experience'. As you recently agreed yourself, people have to be judged by what they know and say, not by their paper qualifications or 'background'.
