Discuss PIR "no RCD on shower circuit" in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net

just before the 17th edition came out i was at a seminar by the nic my answer was what they advised , when i carry out a periodic im testing to the current regulations and although the installation is up to 16th edition standards its not up to 17th edition standard so realy the only code for it is a code 4 , with a reccomendation for an upgrade ,
 
Loads of 5 week wonders (guys who only have experiance of 17th0 seem to put "No RCD" on forms to cover their own backsides but code wrongly
 
Are we not overlooking the requirements of the manufacturer, you'll find manufacturers were requiring rcds before the 17th

True. However in a PIR you may not have the instructions on hand that state this, therefore the regs would be your first point of call. If you had the instructions, suppose thata another way of looking at it.
 
If the manufacture's installation instructions were not available, to determine whether an RCD was required, would that not involve further investigation?
Would not a code 3 be more applicable?

As per above from Dave. Swap to a 63A outlet and problem goes away. What gets plugged into it is not part of an inspection.
