[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 456762, member: 1607"] I am intrigued as to why you thought this? BS7671 is specific as to certain cable types, in certain installation methods and certain accessories that require RCD protection. But there never has been any regulation stating that all circuit must have RCD protection. Plus where an installation was compliant to an earlier version of BS7671 there is no obligation to upgrade everything to comply to the current version just because you are doing a minor addition or alteration to a circuit. Obviously you must ensure that the circuit characteristic are appropriate for additional load you are introducing and the protective methods employed on that circuit. And all aspect of your new work must comply with current regulations, but you do not necessarily have to upgrade or amend a whole circuit or installation just because you add a spur or one additional accessory.
