[QUOTE="binky, post: 18307, member: 490"] I've often wondered if other people do this or not when making small changes to a circuit. I tend to MWC for the small mod, usually because of lack of access to test circuit properly whilst building work progresses (you know the scene, boxes of stuff, clothes etc, etc all around the house), but was never quite convinced this was legally correct on the grounds that you shouldn't work on a circuit unless proven good?????. As for RCD on a 16th edition circuit in bathroom, I would not consider this absolute necessity if supplementary bonding is in and correctly done (rare I know). It's easier to RCD if supp. bonb isn't fully in place, But in the same way that RCD protection for lighting is cat 4 on PIR, I would consider this a similar situation for bathroom correctly installed to 16th regs, prior to change to 17th? :| ?:| Or maybe its time I did the update course:z:z:z [/QUOTE]
