[QUOTE="Apache, post: 78816, member: 828"] Not quite. Extending an existing cct is not notifiable outside of special locations. So adding a spur, FCU fitting a few downlights does not need to be notified. However your work needs to comply with the 17th edn. So it would need RCD protecting - but some would just protect the alteration (eg RCD incoperated FCU) and some would divert the whole cct at the cu through a stand alone RCD. There is much debate whether the whole cct needs upgrading or just you alteration, the majority on here lie with just your new work must comply. Assuming, of course, that the wiring was buried in a wall or in a bathroom etc etc. [/QUOTE]
