Electrics Install to Garage

He's not obliged to follow what that table says

Indeed not. In fact, neither he nor anyone else is 'obliged' to comply with anything that BS7671 says, if they have some other way of demonstrating compliance with Part P.

Kind Regards, John

One can comply with the requirement to make reasonable provision <snip> by complying with the requirements of BS 7671 which relate to safety.

Let's see an LABC field an electrical expert to show that a "power circuit" using 1.0mm cable is not even reasonably safe when Ib ≤ In ≤ Iz

Indeed one can, but as you go on to say ...

Quite so.

Just to add, it's now all done. The on-site electrician would have run a spur from the tumble drier, as I'm not using that - he mentioned he would add in a 3 amp fuse.

Either way, I've had a 50amp circuit put in by my electrician and got a second CU in the garage! Now I have two ring mains, and a lighting circuit. And all with enough power to get an electric car in the future. I'm rather happy now... especially with my new LED strip lights!

Thanks for all your replies!
