[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 14247, member: 250"] Concur entirely Mr S! :D As 1/ Joe public could do this replacement themselves.. all quite legit.. without any need to involve a professional spark. 2/ Replacing Like 4 Like is perfectly acceptable with the building regs Approved Doc P. (no contravention of any rules) 3/ As no addition or alteration to the CIRCUIT has taken place.. it remains current to the standard of regs the original item was installed under. (unless of course it has been non-compliant to earlier regs & general safety.. e.g. wired in 1.0mm!!!! :o :O, then I would probably bank it off!!) :o If customer flatly refuses to have RCD fitted.. I think I would connect up... verify polarity, Ins Res, R1+R2, & Zs.. (or as much as if feasible to test) And give them a certificate with my readings and concern re No RCD.. I would put big bold note on the certificate saying "DO NOT USE TO POWER ANY APPLIANCES OUTSIDE". give them a copy and keep my copy... Backs covered... don't think any legal action re negligence could be raised?? ?:| ? :| [/QUOTE]
