we just nearly finished kitchen rewire for guy and he asking all sorts of other we jobs, done.

my question is this we only rewired kitchen and fitted new board with 30mA rcds. he is now asking about shaver sockets in two bathrooms... would these need to be rcd protected or could i just come off the lights..??
as these are selv
 
Moving light circuit shaver outlet will be tapped from to RCD side is a much better idea than mine.

I disagree though spin that it is "unacceptable". Not perfect, better than before, safe, well yes, but unacceptable, well, thats down to the designer and installer and signer of document!

Would it be safe though?
Yes one could argue that it would be safer than not having no RCD protection at all.
However it would not offer the same degree of safety as would be achieved by compliance with the Regulations.
As such it could not even be listed as a departure.
i=p/u, it will still require 30mA RCD protection.
