You've got to be right now and then, RF.It doesn't happen often, but I fully agree with BAS on this.

Who/what is 'BAS'?
The user Ban-all-sheds, one of the people telling you have not got the first clue as to how to do this job safely and that you should not attempt it.

I'll do what I want, thank you very much.
Well what is the point of coming on here and asking if you're not going to take a blind bit of notice of what everyone is telling you?
Can you not get it through your thick skull that you do not have even remotely any where near enough skill to safely wire your project up?

Aw, don't worry about it.
Who's worried? I hope you electrocute yourself.
What a shocking thing to say.
Well at least you have a sense of humor....
Cheers dude. Got to look on the bright side.
Got to look on the bright side.lets hope he's got a friend who can do CPR
I just don't understand someone who can't take sensible advice, specially when several people offer pretty much the same advice, ah well, not to worry!

Why should a building regulation have anything to to with what a person plugs into his/her domestic supply? That would mean that a fridge, or a washing machine, or a TV etc. would all have to comply with said building regulation. Thats just not true.
I have in the past built many items that connect via a plug to the mains. Large 12volt power supplies etc. I can find no reference to that sort of thing anywhere in the approved document? Can you tell me where to look please.
Yes, Part P is probably a red herring. Not for sure though - it might be relevant, if this gadget is fixed to a wall or similar, or the cables are. Or if it's going to enable outside lighting etc to be powered.
The OP knows how he's planning to use it, and as he's previously expressed approval of a bodge to avoid getting an electrician it's not bad advice to point out that the mere act of using a plug does not automatically exempt him from a legal obligation to make reasonable provision in the design and installation of the thing in order to protect persons operating, maintaining or altering it and what it's part of from fire or injury.
A bit of a flash-bang and a trip to the laundry, maybe, but not death...

You shouldn't be hoping he kills himself.
