You still have an IP rating to meet
I am not questioning your reply Adam but if the OP installed the CU in
2006 surely it would have conformed to the IP ratings at the time? The
OP stated that he has completed the installation by converting to all
RCBOs by doing so is he obliged to update to an additional standard?
As he has not changed the actual CU I would have thought the standards
of the day would still apply even if they do not meet current
standards. The only obligation I can see he may have is that if he has
removed cables resulting in open entry points that they may need
blocking but his post does not make that clear.
The OP did state this is an installation "that I am just finishing".
And I have no problem with someone finishing now an installation started
in 2006.
Think of the massive savings by using 2006 standards and not bothering
with the AFDDs that do **** all - 19th edition regs?
An all RCBO installation in a plastic CU with all the terminals
tightened up properly is OK with me.
