What are peoples thoughts on this, should socket outlets in the general public areas be RCD/RCBO protected? I believe they do and have put them down as a C2 on a recent EICR but recently got a phone call to say it's a C3!

Yes they should now be provided with RCD protection.
As for determining a code, that depends on when they were installed and their intended use.
what you see is what you find.I was once a QS on a contracting company, I was told that you can't change the certificates unless you get the testing engineer to explain his findings, or he should go to site and checkout the defects of the results with the testing guy.
Yes and the current edition/amendment just like all the other editions/amendments, states installations constructed to earlier editions may not necessarily be unsafe.The code doesn't change based on when they were installed, the EICR and the codes applied are based solely on the current edition of bs7671
weather it is 15th 16th and now 17th some body get hurt the h/s will be on some bodys back .Yes and the current edition/amendment just like all the other editions/amendments, states installations constructed to earlier editions may not necessarily be unsafe.
Failure to take on board this fact, is failure to conduct the inspection in accordance with the current edition/amendment of BS7671
We do put down for mechanical protection also along with rcd/RCBO protection. Sorry I didn't explain fully, I should of put it.That makes no sense at all, of course you've been knocked back.
An RCD does not provide any sort of mechanical protection, if mechanical protection is required then you need to install mechanical protection to rectify it.
to late now the horse has bolted .We do put down for mechanical protection also along with rcd/RCBO protection. Sorry I didn't explain fully, I should of put it.
