Regulations 314.1(iv) and 531.2.4 concerning the avoidance of unwanted tripping.

I'm not sure the regs ever made that distinction did they ?

Not explicitly, but the wording was something along the lines of sockets for use by unskilled persons or not supervised by skilled persons require rcds which pretty much covers general domestic sockets without much room for argument

That's very true, but that also covered a massive proportion of commercial installs. I see what you were pointing out though, I didn't read your other post very well.

The Duty Holder MUST do the RA in conjunction with the designer, and the designer MUST hold PII to cover them for the design and be competent to do the RA if they are going to get involved in doing the RA, else leave it to the duty holder.
Poor foresight the proposed changes were issued a year ago almost before they were implemented so any quotes which could have crossed the threshold should have been worded to cover such issues.

As stated the Risk Assessment is a matter for the Duty Holder. Why take on a duty which belongs to someone else?
