Bingook so your recording 80% values thus allowing for any rise in resistance ? the normal ambient temp is 30 c

It is a minor works job Dave as it doesn't involve the provision of a new circuit.
Circuit: An assembly of electrical equipment supplied from the same origin and protected against overcurrent by the same protective device (quote from the ever so holy and never wrong BGB)
We've already established that the overcurrent protective device is the 1362 fuse, so the assembly of electrical equipment connected to it is a circuit is it not?
If you connect a switchfuse with a 6A BS88 to a busbar and feed a dditional lights from it, is the lighting circuit a new circuit, or is it an alteration to the existing circuit feeding the busbar?
Taking a spur from an existing ring wouldn't involve another OCPD, it would still be the OCPD for the ring.
My point is that by installing a new OCPD and wiring from that you are creating a new circuit.
How would you define a new circuit?
What if it's 3 lights, or 4 or.....
I'm not going to argue with you mate, if you want to define it like that then you crack on.
You better make sure however that if you want to do it your way properly, that for every fused connection unit you install within an installation you use a separate schedule of test results within your EIC. Each fused connection unit would after all be it's own sub-distribution board.
Now, what was I saying earlier? Something about 'bonkers'?
