Had this with niceic before. Manufacturers instruction supersede 7671 . No more to be said. If you do not install to manufactures instructions it will not comply as they will never instruct you to do anything against the regs but they may ask you to go over and above the minimum standard.

Could I suggest that you find a set of instructions where it is states that an RCD must installed?

Is that a rhetorical question?

I've had a job where I replaced like for like and manufacturers instructions stated must be rcd protected. Fitting a rcd then requires an EIC which ment upgrading the earthing arrangements.

Thank you eagles as I stated earlier to spin

as has been said...check manufactures instructions....
i personaly would RCD it but...

 

[sparkless]

if its like for like then no,
but if you do then cert has to be supplied and additional testing, so would influence the cost

I assume if manufacturers instructions supersede BS7671 then this would have to be listed as a departure from the regs on any certificate

This could also be interesting in a court if the manufacturers instructions due to errors did not fully meet the requirements of the regs and an incident occurred
