From the end of March 2006 as far as BS7671 is concerned, but compliance with BS7671 is not mandatory.

What about consumer units?
Supposing I buy a load of RB T&E. Then stick a brand new CU on it? That could be dated, I would have thought?

Indeed - unless you go out of your way to buy one which was available pre-2005, and which has no date of manufacture on it. The real giveaway, of course, would be buying or configuring a CU (of whatever vintage) in '17th ed style' (which is what most people would actually have wanted to do if they replaced a CU post 2008)!

That would certainly make it compliant with BS7671, if you wanted it to be so.
I being the person responsible for the Design, Construction, Inspection & Testing of the electrical installation (as indicated by my signature below), particulars of which are described above, having exercised reasonable skill and care when carrying out the Design, 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 2011 except for the departures, if any, detailed as follows:
Also read the last paragraph of 120.3, and consider the fact that if you mix colours you create an extra hazard which requires a warning notice to be place on or near the CU, so not doing that, i.e. if you do depart from the regulations in order to carry on using old colours to alter an existing installation, it cannot possibly be regarded as a departure which contravenes 120.3.
Talking of colours, I would suggest that you make a note not to use that font colour again (it's far worse against the forum's light blue background than in this quote!)
Kind Regards, John.
It's ended up in the darker of the two alternating blues.
And it's meant to be faint - I wanted it to be barely visible
It's always a toss-up between #b0b0b0 and #c0c0c0

In that case you definitely succeeded - I initially didn't notice it at all, and wondered why the few black words were where they were!

I seriously doubt that Specsavers would help here - that 'feint text' is totally invisible (indistinguishable from background) on my screen!Should have gone to Specsavers...

And a few months ago, BAS went as far as saying that if you have red/black available to extend an existing red/black installation, that you are required to use it rather than extending with brown/blue and introducing mixed schemes:
