kitchen rewire

[happy1]

what testing is required for a kitchen rewire. Is a PIR necessary and do you have to install a new cu if the existing one isn't RCD ?

Are you asking as a homeowner or a contractor?

As a home owner you should be talking to a qualified electrician, as a contractor you should already know.

as a contractor

i know what testing needs to be carried out on the new install but am unsure as to whether the cu would have to be changed prior to the work being carried out if it didn't provide RCD protection. I am assuming that it would be and therefore i would have to carry out a PIR as well as issuing an EIC and schedule of tests etc for the completed install.

commercial sparks genius. It's hard to keep up with all the new domestic procedural changes when you're busy doing real work.

You'll do well on this site with an attitude like that

hey, it works for the rest of us...

you inspect the main bonds are up to scratch and fix accordingly, then test the bits you put in or work on..

if that involves changing the CU then it's a full test.

I'm not shouting here, just trying to make this as clear and obvious as possible:

WITH RESPECT TO "DOMESTIC PROCEDURAL CHANGES" PART P HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WIRING REGULATIONS.

As a contractor, presumably working to BS 7671 and taking money for it, why don't you know what the requirements of BS 7671 are?
