[QUOTE="professional, post: 73713, member: 1381"] The requirement for rcd protection is mainly about giving a greater degree of protection to the work done by incompetent sparks (many of whom have passed many yearly assessments) and the public themselves. Since the inception of the 17th Ed, even householders must ensure that rcd`s are fitted as, and when, appropriate - but they can`t test them so how can they comply with BS7671? The idea of full rcd protection by way of consumer unit upgrades is a back-door method of reducing the risk of the wholesale bodging that the government will never admit actually takes place. The fact that this is steadily pushing more and more work into the hands of the very people it was meant to stop is considering incidental - our dwindling business is deemed collateral damage of little consequence............
