Number of fuse boards

Sorry my lack of electric knowledge, I am about to book EICR using myconstructors website and it has a question which confused me - how many fuse boards do I have? Given I have two RCCB with one main switch, am I safe to assume it’s one fuse board? Picture attached

    Yes, just one. Nowadays usually called a consumer unit.

    I replied in your previous post - 2 separate circuits, however they would be consider as one "fuse board".
    Interchangeable terms used are consumer unit, fuse board or electrical fuse box. (edited)

    Your RCCBs are just protecting the circuits linked through them - you’ve very much taken a picture of one fuseboard/consumer unit.
    Some houses might have a mini one in the garage, or an outhouse. Larger houses could have additional if there is an extension , large footprint etc.

    If none of that applies to you, and this is the only board you have, then your answer is just 1.
