I would be happy to omit RCD protection in this instance as the socket is in a locked area and is for a specific piece of equipment (Caveat: dependant upon installation method):
411.3.3 Additional Protection
In a.c. systems, additional protection by means of an RCD in accordance with Regulation 415.1 shall be provided for.
(i) Socket-outlets with a rated current not exceeding 20 A, and
(ii) Mobile equipment with a current rating not exceeding 32 for use outdoors.
And exception to (i) is permitted:
(a) Where, other than for an installation in a dwelling, a documented risk assessment determines that the RCD protection is not necessary, or
(b) For a specific labelled or otherwise suitably identified socket-outlet provided for connection of a particular item of equipment.
Not often I say this, but bung a label on it.
