[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 489113, member: 1408"] Binky said "Greenhouse " , I'm sure I read about some new Regs for greenhouses but this is a summerhouse , I just looked . You have RCD protectioin at the house , you need to buy an [I][B]outdoor[/B][/I] cable gland (CW) to match the cable size , you need an IP rated socket and the circuit breaker needs checking to protect the cable . Its up to you to be honest , there will always be DIYers , any members on here would be testing the socket to ensure adequate earthing & .....not sure ... probably fill out a Minor Works Cert . As to notifying Building Control who knows , who cares . I'll be finishing a new garage supply later this week and will notify it as a new circuit . I never found out what Building Control actually DO with all these notifications. I do know that at the start of the scheme my council was deleting them in their thousands as they had no storage & retrieval system in place I presume . [/QUOTE]
