Hello guys
i have done an EICR on a 16th edition domestic installation so the usual singles PVC are in steel conduit and only RCD protection for the shower. I understand that all sockets below 20a are now required to have RCD protection currently however....
16th edition from what I understand only required RCD protection for sockets liable to be used outside and in wet locations?
so would saying that on a 1st floor flat it would be safe just to code 2 the sockets by the front and rear balcony and also the single socket near the sink? all other sockets will just be code 3?
this will be an NIC visit job because its a handy one to my home address so just wanted to get my ducks in order, i also think it might be a good to use older installs as NIC visits because you can highlight more issues whilst being sympathetic to older wiring editions?
