Then there's yet another error in the book as it clearly states July!

Does it count if my book says 01/01/15 in crayon?

Pleas note, the only place in BS7671 where requirements for circuits to be provided with RCD protection is to be found, is in the section for special locations.
Such circuits are those of a location containing a bath or shower, circuits supplying socket-outlets in Agricultural/Horticultural Installations, etc.

Yes it may well be that the easiest or most cost effective solution will be to provide RCD protection for socket-outlet circuits, rather than individual socket-outlets, but there is no requirement to do so.
It should also be considered that some circumstances, providing RCD protection for socket-outlet circuits can cause nuisance tripping, and could actually be a non-compliance.

Ammendment 3 does not come in to effect until 1st July 2015.

Bought it so might as well use it.

Bought it so might as well use it.

Bought life assurance. Don't fancy using it for a while.

yes correct and in this case the socket circuit will have rcbos and the main switch not rcd.
