is the reg stating that concealed cables should be on RCD for a domestic property only?
It's also helpful to look in the Index under 'Concealed cables...", and see if the relevant regulations are restricted in scope.Take your copy of BS7671 (you do have one, I trust?)
Open it at the very first page of information. It is helpfully called Part 1.
Chapter 11 is titled SCOPE.
It tells you what sort of premises BS7671 applies to. Its quite helpful, really.
Not on its own. As BAS has implied, a good few of the regulations in BS7671 restrict their scope to something less than is indicated in Part I (e.g. to domestic installations only), so the generic statement of scope in Part I is really of pretty limited usefulness.Open it at the very first page of information.

We are. However, my and BAS's point is that, despite what TTC said, the definition of 'scope' in chapter 1 of BS7671 is not particularly helpful, since it does not tell one whether (as for RCD protection for sockets, 'non-combustible' CUs etc.) specific regulations have restricted their scope to less than Chapter 1 of the regs would lead one to expect.Aren't we talking about concealed cables?
Yes, but the socket RCD rule is a good example of how the scope of an individual regulation may be affected by whether it is domestic, or not.Aren't we talking about concealed cables?
