EICR on large hotel

From memory The Electrical Safety Council suggest that it would be a C2 if you found non-RCD protected socket outlets that might be used to supply mobile equipment outdoors (or words to that effect).

Yep you would not ring a lawyer but the landlord did and got a full refund plus costs for the CU change . Also I am still waiting for someone to tell me what reg the no RCD C2 was based on sorry to push this but I would want RCD protection everywhere but I can only advise I cannot manufacture a situation to force someone to do it so fine line yes but a lawyer would say don't get above yourself the same as a MOT tester saying sorry I have failed your car because in my opinion you should have air bags fitted . Plus if you don't think that argument will wash with you how would you feel if it was you he told.

Had to dig out an old 16th for this one it the green version Reg 471-16-1 page 58

A socket-outlet ratted at 32 amps or less which may reasonably expected to supply portable equipment for use outdoors shall be provided with supplementary protection to reduce the risk associated with direct contact by means of a residual current device.....

An as stated NIC guidance on this is a code 2 so that is what I have always done
