[QUOTE="ShockingExperience, post: 12634, member: 1197"] Hi guys, 1st post and a simple little question :) Just back from the continent and the 17th has come in to effect whilst I have been away! Although I have a fair idea what most of it involves and have the course coming up, here is a quick question. If you are working on a circuit and fitting for argument sake, say a new light fitting and 6a plate switch, from an old Wylex rewreable fuse link distribution board. and simply does not comply with the 17th. Is it true that this circuit now must be fitted with an RCD? Therefore you either replace the entire board or remove the circuit and fit it into a single RCD board external from the existing board? I was speaking to a mate who has done the course and explains this is now a requirement unless the customer refuses to have the work done at considerable additional expense. If this is the case is there anyway around this problem? Geezz wish I had stayed overseas! [/QUOTE]
