If it was safe when it was installed X years ago, and there has been no damage or deterioration in materials, then it is just as safe today.
That's not to say that some current techniques might not make it safer, but that doesn't imply that the existing system is unsafe.
well, i think that depends on how you personal see it. the definition of "safe" changes over the years. As we had a RCD with 500mA trip current installed 30 years ago, it was called safe. now I would consider it as totally unsafe...
the better to say: if its old but not damaged, it has still the safety level it had when installed. this however does not guarantee it is "safe" in current criteria.
didnt want to criticize you, just my 0.02€
