Checking other circuits after fitting outdoor socket?

Or alternatively, the electrician could comply with Section 722 BS7671, which last time I read and tried to understand, I was left with a minor migraine.

I expect the IET's code of practise, has lots of pretty pictures, for us lessor mortals. They are on the second edition now (2015), mind

Very niche then......... and VERY fraught with getting the appropriate circuits out of house.

The last one I saw, in a very new house, was all surface trunking around the hall from the CU which was in the centre of the house........ YUK!

When I was working at the Council there were proposals to install EV chargers at various public buildings such as Colleges and Leisure Centres, I was tasked with surveying said buildings with an SSE contracting engineer to look at designing the required circuits etc. At the time they were talking about either 'fast' or 'rapid' chargers, I believe the latter required a 100amp three phase supply ! I escaped from the Council shortly after that to start up on my own so had no further involvement thankfully !

Hi Frimley and welcome to the forum !
With domestic EV charging it's likely you will be needing a new (dedicated) 32A circuit. This triggers the need for an Electrical Installation Certificate which does give rise to additional testing beyond the new work.
