So if the above is true of your installation, yes.
The requirement regarding not needing notification is as below;The requirement regarding notification is as below;
Replacing the cable for a single circuit only, where damaged, for example, by fire, rodent or impact.
This is providing that the replacement cable has the same current carrying capacity, follows the same route and does not serve more than one sub-circuit through a distribution board.
So if the above is true of your installation, yes.
No, I'm not.surely you are not suggesting the OP, should replace cable, for example 2.5mm T&E for 1.00mm T&E and then re-route it through thermal insulation, are you?
I know what the OP asked too, so I gave him the correct information without all of your incorrect additional information.I know what the OP asked and I gave additional information so would hopefully, leave the repaired circuit very much as the original would have been, without fault or damage.
BCOs do not make laws.and it's a directive that was given to me by a building controls officer.
I would not dare.Surely you aren't suggesting that if the original cable was wrongly sized, or if it got damaged because it wasn't installed in the right place, that the OP should reproduce those errors when he replaces it, thus breaking the law by contravening P1, are you?
I would hope they would/could give correct guidance regarding the laws though, as these are normally the people that you deal directly with when inspection time comes.BCOs do not make laws.
Oh, and I would not take legal advice from a Police Officer or BCO as it's frightening how often they misunderstand or simply don't know so make it up.
Exactly - to comply with Part P might mean not using the same size cable as before and/or not following the same route.But I would hope the OP used common sense and installed the circuit as per compliance with part p and BS7671.
