Special locations

[joehat]

I have power to a shed, would this be a notifiable still if all switches are run o my in the shed and house. I have it in conduit fm from fcu in house to double socket 10m into the shed.
I always thought it was and always notify it's, but have been told it's not as there's no switch ect outside, only in house/shed. This is a spur coming of the ring.
What are your thoughts?

My thoughts are I wish some people on here could make an attempt to write in a legible manner or proof read their posts. It is painful trying to make sense of what you are trying to say, frankly.

Since Part P.
Kitchens were also considered special, though only the zones in a bath/shower room were special.

No, even in Wales it is not notifiable, unless it is a new circuit.
Running a cable outside was not and is not now notifiable.
Making a connection outside (i.e. to a lamp post, electric gate, etc.) was notifiable (still is in Wales).

Its down to all those sheep wandering around chewing things.

In fairness I got that a lt on here, and its not done to my gramma. The keystkes are not always recognised, unless your areful in checking you pelling ad making sure its as it should be. f yo see what I men!

Apologies for my grammar, yes abit of proof reading needed.

I don't know where I got it from (think this forum) but I had in my mind anything that you could plug/unplug or switch Ect outside had to be notifiable.
Anything that didn't Was not. Obviously anything new eg circuits Ect is.

The way I read this is that the WIREING to the shed is notifiable? Or am I reading it wrong?

You seem to be looking at the 2010 version not the 2013 (current) version for England. The version you are looking at only applies in Wales.
Your location is not noted on your profile so I don't know if this is relevant or not.

I think thats the 2010 version... what does it say on the front?

 

[joehat]

Bingo thanks. And... PRINT
I did have a copy but must have lost it as being busy you forget.

Ok sorry i was thinking special locations as in the Regs Not part P . I do very little domestic work

Kitchens aren't special locations in any publication.

There's an example somewhere (a bit further down) in that version I believe, regarding electric gates.
From what I remember, running the cable was not notifiable, just connecting it to the gate controls?

No, got that back to front.
Conecting to an existing isolator is not notifiable, but running in the circuit to the isolator is.

No, it's kitchens and special locations.

No, it's kitchens and special locations.

eh? I'm not sure what you're saying here.

A kitchen isn't a 'special location' in the regs. And work in a kitchen isn't notifiable under Part P in England (unless it's a new circuit or CU).
