Hi guys.
Just need pulling into check on this one. I’ve been asked to wire an extension including new lights and sockets and SD’s ran from existing circuits in the house.
Now his mains was fitted in ‘15; a split load RCD mains, located in a hallway of plastic construction.
I’ve always understood that any consumer unit of plastic construct located in a hallway, final exit or combustible cupboard is a C2 issue, anything outside of that is C3. While I’m not running in new circuits I’m under the impression that any aspect of the circuit I affect from the mains to the final accessory must be up to current standard so am I right in thinking that I should advise it be upgraded or that I install a small sub-main that is within regs and provide new circuits from it.
