Part P and Security Lighting

[Jono Pashley]

If the lighting is fixed directly to the wall of the building, being fed from a FCU outside of a special location. With the only terminations outside being those within the lighting enclosure. Would you class it as a notifiable job and issue a EIC or not notifiable and MWC it?

LABC told me it was fine and its none notifiable in their guidance notes. But a know-it-all is now telling me it is a notifiable job.

I asked this question a long time ago on another forum and was told that it was non-notifiable.

 

[SPECIAL LOCATION]

Non notifiable.

Page 9 Approved document P paragraph i.

"The installation of equipment to the outside wall of a house is not notifiable!"

Notifiable doesn't have to be an EIC?

MWC can be notifiable work as well!

e.g. alteration to circuit in Kitchen / Bathroom.

EIC only if ADD NEW circuit... NOT alteration.

It's non notifiable.

IMO it's MWC (NO, not cash ) but some will argue with you that a circuits origin could be considered to be at a FCU.

To me it's stretching it a bit, I'd call it a sub circuit, but each to their own, I sign the cert and sleep at night :z
