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!

Well you're saying that all these things used to be allowed but are now not allowed, when in fact they are still allowed.
Makes me wonder whether you just ignore the Regulations and make up your own.
Not NICEIC are you?
However the biggest problem here, is this weird idea that just because there has been a change in the Regulations, anything that is no longer allowed is suddenly dangerous..
Well you said bare conductors are not allowed when they are.
Can't say I've ever come across bare conductors enclosed in wooden containment. Not sure whether it would be allowed today or not.

I'm not sure it's that drastic.Sorry but that is exactly what you are doing if you apply a code C1 or C2 to a situation that was ok yesterday before the new edition came into force today.

. . . . . and are still not being proof read to prevent the obvious errors and mistakes!I was talking to an old workmate the other day on that subject, I bet the books are already printed and sat in a warehouse somewhere.
