Electrics Confusion

Has as been said. Although not notifiable the circuit still has to be tested and paper work provided.

Before commencing work the general installation should be checked for compliance. ie is there an adequate earthing system, is there an RCD present, etc. The last person to work on the circuit is responsible for the full circuit and all or any faults that it may have.

basically if you're changing a socket front and the circuit is wired in 1.00mm with a 30amp re-wireable fuse then it is your responsibility to change the fuse/wiring to meet current regulations. Changing "like for like" is not as simple as it seems.
