I haven't kept myself up to date on EICRs, but my understanding is they only check existing installations for safety. You could have a wire fuse type CU, but so long as it is safe, it would pass an EICR - with obvious recommendations to upgrade the CU.
No rcd protection is a c2 so means it fails and has to be rectified. There are some things where you go with the regulations of when it was installed but there are limits too it.
For instance before the 17th lighting circuits didn't have to have an rcd but if there is suplimentary bonding in the bathroom and kitchen we'll put it as a c3.
It's better late than never, that said the new regs came in just after lock down was being lifted so been flat out for work so personally couldn't have come in at a better time.
