Common sense prevails in amendment 1 (in effect 01/01/12)
[FONT=Arial,Bold][FONT=Arial,Bold]522.6
[/FONT][/FONT][FONT=Arial,Bold][FONT=Arial,Bold][FONT=Arial,Bold].7.102 [/FONT][/FONT][/FONT]Where Regulation 522.6.6101 applies and the installation is not intended to be under the supervision of a
skilled or instructed person, a cable installed in accordance with Regulation 522.6.
6101(v), and not complying with
Regulation 522.6.
6101(i), (ii), (iii) or (iv), shall be provided with additional protection by means of an RCD having the
characteristics specified in Regulation 415.1.1.
An exception is permitted for minor works where the designer is satisfied
that there would be minimal increased risk of damage to the circuit cable due to penetration by screws, nails and the like.
The decision shall be recorded under part 2 of the Minor Works Certificate or the comments section of the Electrical Installation Certificate.
ok I have added a 2way switch too so it must be RCD protected right? At present its on the none RCD side of a split load db . Can I just move the circuit over? That would mean just one circuit left on none RCD side ? (up lights). I have my first elecsa assesment coming up and I want to have this as a possible job to show. Thoughts please??
