    No RCD protection for socket outlets rated 32A or greater

    Which of the amendments to the 16th edition Regs made it mandatory for socket outlets to be protected by a 30mA RCD for all new work? I've been very surprised this week to find on a pre-work check for a house built in 1995 that there is no RCD protection whatsover on the installation. Memera...

    Sockets under Sink ?

    Most new kitchens you seem to have no option but to install sockets (for wash machine/dish washer etc) under the sink in the base unit. I do not believe there is any reg's restricting this but some kitchen fitters i come across still seem to think it is taboo (though they do it anyway). Am i...
