stairlift charger on minor works

[bulby]

Hi, my boss is telling me to install fuse spurs on a minor works which he says involves breaking into the ring main and fitting the spur at top of stairs. I cant see a problem ! when there is no accessible ring he is now telling me to stright to the DB and fit new cable in with ring main breaker and its an addition to a circuit so it can be done on a minor works, is this right ? i beg to differ but he's saying it fine.

Can anyone please advise

you would be adding a spur at the DB. not a new circuit, so MWC is correct.

Absolutely, a spur can be added from a suitable junction, an accessory or the origin of the circuit, all of which can be certificated on a MEIWC.

Just make sure the CU is labelled so that anyone in the future can understand whats going on.

If he does it this way then does he need to perform any tests on the existing ring main?

IMHO no, he can legitimately say all tests relate to the new spur only!
