So a thought. customer wants a new oven (electric) replaced and hob (electric) replaced. Has No rcd board, circuit has 6mm T&E, and cooker switch is on back wall right behind hob. Worse place you could ever have one.
Question. By just replacing the hob and oven for new ones, would it be a. requirement to Upgrade to RCD and b. relocate the switch.
Current Circuit is fine and tested although on a old wylex BS3036.
I myself, if circuit is ok and im not making alterations would of consider it ok to replace oven and hob as long as they are within the max load for cable/breaker. and this would not be notifiable. Although the recommendation would be to relocate switch and upgrade RCD. which would then be a nofiable job.
