This paragraph is a quote from the Practical Guide to Inspection and Testing Book.
"Remember the installation may not comply with the current regulations.
If this is the case then a judgement will have to be made by you, as to
whether the installation is recorded as satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Clearly
an installation which was safe when it was installed does not become unsafe
because the regulations have been updated.
Compliance BS 7671:2008 will require that, in most instances, circuits should
be RCD protected. It will be some considerable time before this will be found
to be the case when carrying out periodic inspections. In most instances this
type of non-compliance would be regarded as a 4 in the observations and
recommendations section of the PIR."
