So all/every socket upto 32a should be RCD protected and if not it’s a c2Dannyg already has.
Your report - your decision on the severity of the non-compliance. But it must be coded.So all/every socket upto 32a should be RCD protected and if not it’s a c2
You have to assess the risk on site, we can't do that for you.What if accessible to public/ ordinary persons
Ok.... I’m looking for a more direct actual guide on this it’s not as black and white as you say ofcourse it is to be coded and I don’t agree it’s just the inspectors decision as there is a correct way to inspect and code.Your report - your decision on the severity of the non-compliance.

It is the inspectors decision. There is no hard fast rules on how to Code, this is the only area BS7671 makes a Coding reference to, that being a minimum Code 3. This is not suggesting if must be Code 3 because this is down to the inspectors judgement and experience.Ok....

are we going on the basis that all sockets to be RCD protected upto 32a during a eicr even though the installation is compliant to older regulations without RCD protection
Don’t agree with that , if it’s a situation that warrants RCD protection the inspector can’t just say c3 and that’s the end of because he decided , if the inspector is wrong he is wrong and his coding would be wrong alsoIt is the inspectors decision.

Whether you agree or not that is the way of things. Are you new to doing this kind of thing.Don’t agree with that , if it’s a situation that warrants RCD protection the inspector can’t just say c3 and that’s the end of because he decided , if the inspector is wrong he is wrong and his coding would be wrong also
