Which country is that?
An EICR isn’t necessarily required
residual current breaker or is it an RCD. Might be getting my rcbs mixed up with my rcds. But I think you already know this haha

RCCB - residual current circuit breaker - earth leakage only - double pole device that covers several circuits with MCBs.
RCBO - residual current breaker with over current protection - earth leakage and overcurrent.
Both are RCDs - residual current devices.
MCB - miniature circuit breaker - overcurrent only.

The thing top right is a 40A RCBO.
Beg pardon.
Is this in the south of Ireland?
If so ignore many of the incorrect remarks being made.

If it is then it was posted in the wrong forum. There is a separate forum for non- UK issues https://www.diynot.com/diy/forums/electrics-abroad/
In fairness the location was extremely obvious from the photo. It very obviously wasn't a UK or Six County installation.
