Anyone got 7671:2004

did section 701 require showers be on an RCD in 7671:2004?

Ignore that.....

it's 2008

sorry

blame the merlot

Wasn’t 2004 section 601? I seem to remember that it was more a mfrs recommendation, and only in a later edition that the ‘apply mfrs instructions’ was made more significant.

good point, it would have been 601...

but i cant find my 2004 regs anywhere so cant check myself

Was that the red or brown book? I think I’ve the brown on the van the red may be at home which I won’t be for another week. 

blue i think

or was blue 2001, brown 2004?

I’ll nip out to van in a while and have a butchers. Busy at minute. 

Issue :2001 Blue.     Amendment 1 :2002,   Amendment 2 : 2004,    Reprint with Amendments 1 & 2 : Brown.  2004.

There has never been a regulation saying showers need RCD protection.  Brown book only says good workmanship & proper materials  133-01-01.  It was in the 17th ed (Red) 2008 that manufactures instructions was added. 134.1.1.  Then later the whole Buried cables and bathroom circuits malarkey.

Forgot to say you can check the editions dates & colours etc toward the front of the current regs.  (Red-1991,  Green-1994,  Yellow-1997,   Blue-2001,   Brown-2004,  Red-2008)  etc..

So had a browse brown book 2004 and reg 601-09-02 states a fixed electrical accessory fixed in zone 1 requires a rcd 30mA.

Just realised you're asking about the 16th edition  Brown , which was  right in front of me .    Confirm what Sharpie says  in 601-09-02    ...asking for RCD protection .
