Can anyone clear this up?

[Judd]

Just carried out some small works in a ground floor WC, moved the position of a light and replaced it with a new one,
The circuit at the moment is protected by a 6A MCB, but lacks additional protection by means of a 30mA RCD for cables buried <50mm plaster. There's no bath or shower room on the circuit,
My supervisor has said it doesnt require RCD but ive heard conflicting opinons, Just filling out the minor works now,
Should I note the lack of additional protection in the comments or departures.
Thanks Judd

Better do what your supervisor says?

I Wasn't asking weather I should do what he says, although it is Friday and it's past 3.

Does the alteration you have done require RCD protection, or are you referring to parts of the existing circuit ?

 

[Judd]

Existing circuit that I have worked on.

Existing circuit that I have worked on.

In the course of the alteration have you buried any cables in walls less than 50mm from the surface that need RCD protection ?
You don't need to provide RCD protection for parts of the circuit you haven't installed or altered.

I know but it is raining.

Is supplementary bonding in place?

No

Does it need supplementary bonding? It's a WC, no bath or shower.

Thinking along the lines of taps on wash basin connecting to copper pipe of the installation.

No mention of light switch within the room could either be pull cord or wall switch which could be metallic.

Why is it a special location?

 

[Ian1981]

A w.c is not a special location and is the same as not bonding your kitchen sink pipework, not required.

The part of the installation you have ‘moved’ will need RCD protection. If it was a like for like replacement and you had not moved the light I would say no to installing RCD protection but I would comment on the MWC that it was missing.

Raining at the moment.
