[QUOTE="SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH, post: 452207, member: 16"] I agree, voltage above that needs marking. If the flat is 25 years old i doubt the consumer unit is wood. Rcd protection was needed for 'equipment that may be used outside' at that time, so it depends on what floor, outside areas etc the flat is on whether this should have been a code . Only if the bathroom light is in a zone would make it a non-compliance, not solely because its a bathroom Although the regulations are not retrospective the inspection is, so i would make a comment on these sort of items although not always code them. However as others have said, as a landlord you should consider these remarks and upgrade the installation for the better. [/QUOTE]
