[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 557387, member: 250"] Some points you may want to consider are:- If it was a like-for-like replacement due to the RCD being faulty then that is not notifiable.. If you had to replace a faulty AC type RCD it would be sensible to replace it with an equivalent rating Type A device. If the overcurrent rating of the protective device, and the residual tripping current, and any time-delay characteristics of the RCD are identical, then other than the short length of additional cable you are adding, the overall circuit characteristics are pretty much unchanged.. You are not adding a new circuit which would be notifiable.. And work in a garage is not notifiable.. There is nothing within Approved Document P saying that replacing a protective device is notifiable..

But as various aspects of Part-P are a bit vague and open to debate... Unless you choose to use unauthorised logoed paperwork, it is very unlikely anyone would ever question or investigate the work you have done or pursue any legal action. At the end of the day it is your call... [/QUOTE]
