I used to work on a Electrical Trade Counter at a builders providers back in 1989 even back then the norm for consumer units were ELCB's (earth leakage breakers) so they have been around for years fitted to CU's . 

 

Yep, hence the inverted commas.  Loads of homes still only have old fashioned rewireable fuseboxes, some even with that old vulcanised rubber cabling, that is prone to shorting out. I  fitted a new consumer unit with an RCD at the turn of the century,  which was still a few years before they became mandatory in new installs.

I'd like to see AFDD's become the norm in houses consumer units - I think they are gradually becoming the norm but still very expensive at the moment - but i believe they will be a great addition to the RCCD/MCB/RCBO's currently
