Replace shower - part p or not?

[Rockingit]

Reminer please as I've not been paying much attention to Part P changes - assuming that an existing install meets 2018 EICR 'requirements' - would a replacement swap of a faulty shower unit be notifiable works?

 

[Pauls0212]

nope, replacement does not need notification.

 

[Rockingit]

Presumably though if the circuit wasn't up to scratch - rcd/ratings/whatever then it would be notifiable after correction?

Work inside the CU requires notification I believe.

It still needs to comply with Part P though.

I would say no even if you add additional rcd protection or changed the protective device. If you rewire the circuit or significantly alter it then yes.

No. A new circuit, a new consumer unit, alterations or additions to any bathroom circuit. These are the only notifiable works in England.

But he's asking if it needs notifying.

Pedant! ?

I know the point you're making is that ALL electrical work in a dwelling has to be compliant with Part P of the building regulations, a point sometimes not fully appreciated.

But come on... you know full well the intended question was "is this classed as notifiable works, under Part P of the building regulations?".

I can't be arsed with this. Do we all have to check our posts now and make sure they are 100% accurate?

Yes, I do, but the conflation of Parts P and 3(12) of the Building Regulations ought to be resisted because it can lead to, as you say, a lack of appreciation that all electrical work in a dwelling has to be compliant with Part P.

Depends what error % you think is OK.

The OP clearly asks if replacement of a shower is notifiable. Why make hard work of it?
