RCD dates

[Plonker 3]

As Imhave said previously its your report, so you code it as you see fit. Just make sure your PI insurance is upto date though.

Makes you wonder how we all got on without any form of RCD's for all those years!! We must have been playing with death on a daily basis!! ...lol!!

But given its retrospective, if it didn't need one at time of installation then surely it's a c3?

It's completely irrelevant whether or not it complied when it was installed. You are assessing the installation against the current standard (BS 7671:2008 (2013)) and the notes attached to the model forms in the Wiring Regulations state that any lack of an RCD for additional protection must be given a minimum of a C3 classification.

So you need to assess how great the risk is.

Of course, the "easiest" way to avoid a code 2 is to change a couple of sockets front & back for rcd protected ones, or protect the ground ring with an rcbo.
