Outside light on plug top.

[telectrix]

richard is spot on. 1. it's not notifiable. 2. the cable through the wall does not fall within the remit of 522.6.101. that refers to cable buried below plaster and prone to being nailed or screwed into.

fit a FCU, then flex to the light. either use the FCU as a switch, or fit a switch somewhere convenient. if you do have to chase cable in, then fir a RCD FCU. test and complete a MWC.

]The idea of part P and notification is to leave a paper trail to prove it was done safely[/COLOR], but filling in the right forms and ticking the right boxes in itself isn't going to make the installation any safer.
Sticking a plug on the end of an outside light and plugging it in might sound like a good solution but consider what you would think if you saw that on a new build - plugs with flexes disappearing off everywhere for no reason other than to get around some red tape.

........ and to help the Tax Man screw even more money out of you.

You don't want flex from a plug top dissapearing into the wall as according to the ESC guidance on EICR coding this is a code 2.
