PIR code for no RCD

[Des 56]

How did we manage before this all important rcd world ?

I would make a decision on the installations need ,the current requirements and a code suited to the outcome, taking the installation age into account, when making that code
I cant see how any code can be given with the limited information

Hello just to update,

It is a shop that contains ovens used for baking, the original system was installed approx 15 years ago,no records or signs of previous PIR.
The cables are installed in false ceiling or false wall. My main concern is that there are sockets in the shop front, public side,that are used for fridge display unit.

Sorry forgot to add its a tn-c-s system

The new edition of gn3 states" that installations conforming to earlier editions and not complying with the current edition do not necessarily fail to achieve conformity with the EAWR89. - if numbers 2 or 3 are allocated, the person carrying out the test will have to use judgement to determine whether or not the installation can be classed as satisfactory". So your all correct! My opinion, sockets in any public area should be rcd protected, you never know what Joe public will do next. So its a code 2, Erm I mean 4. No I don't I mean 2 I think. No, I've settled on code 4. Give the owner a quote to change over these sockets to rcd ones, you've got a bit more work, public is safe, job done.
