They should be controlled by a ceiling mounted pull-cord switch, where the cord is made of insulating material, or a wall switch, which must be mounted a set distance away from the areas considered special zones within a bathroom.
A consumer unit need not be replaced simply because it has rewireable fuses, cartridge fuses or older-type circuit-breakers, as these devices can provide satisfactory overcurrent protection.

further, a consumer unit need not be replaced because it does not incorporate rcd protection, as there may be ways to provide this protection other than replacing the consumer unit.

similarly, in light of the changes made in amendment no 3 of bs 7671: 2008, a consumer unit need not be replaced because its enclosure is made of combustible materials such as, for example, plastic.

there is no legal requirement that calls for an existing installation to be upgraded to current standards.

however there is a requirement under the building regulations for england and wales to leave the installa on and the building no worse in terms of the level of compliance with other applicable parts of schedule 1 to the building regulations than before the work was undertaken.

replacing a consumer unit is an alteration to that installation. additions and alterations are classed as new work. the work must therefore be designed, erected and verified in accordance with the requirements of the current edition of bs 7671, as amended (regulation 110.1.2(vi))
and must not impair the safety of the existing installation (regulation 610.4). on completion of the verification of the work an electrical installation certificate must be issued .
