Who checks whether the main fuse needs upgrading?

Morning all. I’m getting solar and battery installed next week, followed by an EV charger at the end of the month (different installer). My solar installer has confirmed the G99 has gone through with no issue but when I asked if they had checked if the main fuse needed upgrading, they said they didn’t usually check this. I did contact the DNO a few weeks ago asking if I needed to do this and they sid the solar or EV installer would do this. My questions are:

  1. As part of the G99 application, does the DNO check this as part of their process - I would assume they would - and if needed, they would inform both me and the installer this needed to be done?
  2. if the DNO does this, presumably the EV installer would then need to inform the DNO and there would be a similar check again?

I can just raise a request via the DNO website myself but it’s not clear what the standard process is. Also the label on the fuse has worn away so it isn’t clear what size the fuse is currently.
