I wonder what the scams view point is working on an older non rcd installation and not adding in any rcd protection..?

I was doing kitchen refurb, where the client had a couple of FCU’s and wanted to replace them with socket outlets (no rcd protection).

I asked my scheme, if that would be classed as ‘maintenance’? I got a ‘stupid boy’ sigh, and told no it’s not.
 
Why do people feel the need to consult their scheme.
 
Probably cuz they aren't sure, or don't know what to do next. To which I suppose begs the question, do the Schemes know the answer any way, replies on a post card please. Someone said "A stupid boy sigh" says it all really.

In fairness to them, the Tech Support of my Scheme were quite knowledgeable, thorough with their replies, and from the experience & qualifications they held (as seen from editorials on them), I was in no doubt of their qualified answers. There was a particular individual, whom I wasn't sure about, the rest were exemplary.

When you consider, when you ring in with a query, the guy would respond straight away with his guidance quoting regulation numbers etc, its not like replying to a thread here, with the advantage of time, browsing regs book or using Google. They were most helpful.

I don't think you can criticise something, without the experience of using it.
