Guidance Please

Hi there, I'm new to this forum. I'm going to install a double socket and a light in a garden shed. My plan is to run a switched fused spur off the kitchen ring as a spur to the shed, where I'll put a double pole switch and then the socket and light. I'm using some steel armoured cable underground to run from the fused spur to the double pole switch. I believe this will only require a MWC. Would that be correct? As such its not notifiable, is it? I have the appropriate qualifications (2391, 17th ed etc) but I'm not registered yet (took all the courses and then got a job that didn't require me to get registered) and I am comfortable with the testing required, but as it is a while (about a year ago) that I qualified, the details of certification etc are a bit rusty and I just want to be sure I'm doing it right. Your help and advice would be :38:gratefully received.

Yes, thanks all. I have considered coming off the CU as suggested, but does that not then become a new circuit and is therefore notifiable. Its not that I want to avoid notification, necessarily, but as I'm not in a scheme, I'd have to pay someone to inspect and test (or at least confirm the testing), thus increasing my costs significantly.

But surely you wouldn't choose a less than satisfactory method which will cause customer inconvenience because you're not in a scheme? Doesn't seem fair on the customer to me. Daz

 

[Kirvy]

Of course not, but the only customer in this is me, so the cost is an important part of this. If its as simple to join a scheme as it would appear from previous comments, then I might consider doing it a different way, but I suspect I'll need more evidence than this to demonstrate my suitability to join any scheme and as I said before, I don't NEED to be a scheme member for my work, so it could be a cost too far for this simple task.
