Opinions on coding for PIR.

Would you agree or disagree with this recommendation...

Commercial premises

No RCD to Ground floor sockets likely to supply power to portable equipment outdoors... Code 2

Agreed.....as long as there was a real possibility that they would be used to supply equipment outdoors.

You mention not being able to isolate the sub main for the flat ????? CODE 2 requires improvement as submain should have isolation

good point.

I thought so, I know some have a dim view on noting "No RCD on sockets" on a PIR and say there's no requirement for it or at most code it 4, But there's always a good chance a jet wash could be used outside a commercial business to clean company cars etc...

Sub main has a switch fuse, however at the time of testing access to this equipment was impossible as it is located in a shop and the shop was shut.
