ELV wiring (data, coax etc) doesn't need notifying, but if you're installing MR16 lamps the chances are you'll also be installing transformers, which use a 230v feed.

sooooo... would these MR16 need a Electrical Cert or a minor?

Minor!

If you're just extending an existing circuit minor, if adding a new circuit EIC.

please explain my "POP" and also explain "know more" than any one else..!!

oh and for you little childish comment of "know it all" you contradict your self in so many ways!!

moisture in the air has no effect on electrical fittings i,ve seen plenty of batton holders under open porches with no problems. so your post was pretty stupid

moisture in the air corroded through a 12" x 9" RSJ on my property. buggered up the electrical fittings as well.

 

[Tinyotall]

So to sum up no matter what fittings 12v or 240v all I need is a Minor Cert?

 

[DurhamSparky]

YES that is correct...!!

If it's an outside light it'll need notifying as well.

 

[Tinyotall]

If it's an outside light it'll need notifying as well.

So notifiable and non are separate issues?

 

[DurhamSparky]

Your outside light needs a Minor Works Cert for the work and also it needs notifying to Building control for approval on completion...

 

[Tinyotall]

Is there a detailed chart of Minor and EIC and notifiable and non?

 

[DurhamSparky]
