What are peoples thoughts on this, should socket outlets in the general public areas be RCD/RCBO protected? I believe they do and have put them down as a C2 on a recent EICR but recently got a phone call to say it's a C3!

It's a bit out of date buzz at it still refers to skilled and instructed persons 2008
Well of course that has been updated now so that Skilled persons bit has been removed.please read.
To be honest I would C3 sockets domestically say for upstairs were sockets are generally not likely to be used for supplying outdoor equipment yet they can be multiple USB type so I don't see any relevance.The cables supplying them are less than 50 mm depth and I've started seeing a lot more people charging phones, laptops or tablets for kids. Personally I think there a C2 because of the above and more and more sites are starting to change there sockets for the ones with the USB charge outlets.

We have the same issue with outdoor light fittings not being mechanically protected and wanting to put them on rcd/RCBO protection, it always gets knocked back.To be honest I would C3 sockets domestically say for upstairs were sockets are generally not likely to be used for supplying outdoor equipment yet they can be multiple USB type so I don't see any relevance.
