It's one of these regs that's open to interpritation. The actual wording is "socket-outlets for use under the supervision of skilled or instructed persons, e.g. in some commercial or industrial locations"
You strike me as being a skilled or instructed person, and I'd have no issue with ommiting RCD from the sockets on your test bench, but what about the socket for the kettle in the canteen or where the cleaner plugs in her hoover? I'd be less keen to omit the addition protection there.
