I recently undertook an EICR report for a small house and the conservatory extension had a separate fuseboard which was fed from a 13A plug top.
Obviously this is not ideal but when coming to code it I couldn’t describe why it is any more than a C3.
The main distribution board feeding the socket that the sub-board plugs into is RCD protected. Surely any fault that could occur from circuits after the sub-board are then RCD protected, any overloading etc of the plug top is protected by the both the MCB at the main board and the 13A fuse in the plug.
Can anyone more experienced point me to what (of anything) I would be doing classifying it as a C3?
