just for arguments sake his circuit up to the commando socket will be subject to regs and part p
but reg 430 note 4 says anything plugged in on a flexible cable is beyond the scope of the regs
so now we are saying that part p of the building regs is above the iee regs or should we argue that his shed is on a flexible cable and plug and therefore not darkwood asked this very question on here about a jet wash

The circuit from the house CU to the Commando socket would be wired by the electrician (if he agrees to, that is) so the fixed part would be legal/certified etc I believe?
 
Up to 13A you can plug in what you want.... but over that, how ever you look at it, it will fall under Part P...

Whether I like it or not is irrelevant...

Any written proof of this? Not trying to argue, but if there's mixed opinions then somebody must be wrong... :p

Anything that is plugged in, or connected via a switch is subject to the ISITEE, Which is a requirement of the IET
 
Hi - just my opinion, but Part P is law and so BS7671 could not invalidate or over rule any requirement specified by it. As fixed wiring installed in a dwelling or its outbuilding is the specific focus and intent of Part P of the Building Regulations I vote the shed wiring is Part P, temporary supply cable or no. On a lighter note ... if the shed had wheels a better case could be made perhaps?
