I've installed a new IP66 outdoor socket which is essentially a spur from a socket inside using white 13A rated flex as the cable will be visible inside. I am now wondering if I should have. The Main CU has a RCD in it so no need for another one from what I have read. It's also in a utility room which is on it's own circuit. My concern is this.
The NICEIC website says:
Can anyone shed some light on whether it's OK to have done it myself?
The NICEIC website says:
- Is this work likely to be covered by the Building Regulations? Substantial works such as partial and full rewires are notifiable under the regulations so will need to be signed off by your local authority if not using a registered contractor
- If the work is minor (such as adding a new socket), is it in the bathroom, kitchen or garden? This work is not notifiable under the Building Regulations however they are considered high risk locations due to the load demands of appliances and/or proximity to water sources which can make working with electricity more dangerous
