Installing a fan for a bathroom the other day resulted in an interesting discussion with the client,who is a now frail but mentally intact long retired sparky. I had fitted an RCD FCU at the DB to the associated lighting circuit to cover the only bathroom circuit,as there were no RCDs present or supplementary bonding. Explaining to him about RCD's and bathrooms he questioned as to whether I had actually altered the bathroom circuit at all. The reason being that the fan was a roof space in line jobby,so only a vent on the ceiling,all the wiring was carried out from an existing JB in the roof space,so light and pullswitch not touched,and the 3 pole isolator was installed in the airing cupboard adjacent to but outside the bathroom. I had to concede he had a point....perhaps it could be argued that there was no need to install an RCD as no alterations or additions were actually carried out in the bathroom. Opinions welcome.
