Hi,
I've done some electrical work and I wonder if anyone can tell me whether it is notifiable or not. I did it and then stumbled across Part P regs afterwards.
I have taken a fused 13A spur off an RCD protected ring final to an outdoor socket. From this outdoor socket I have laid a swa cable (60cm depth) to my shed and wired in a couple of double plugs and a 3A fused switch to a light.
I now know it is notifiable to take a permanent electrical feed to an outbuilding.
I have the option of attaching the swa cable from my shed to the outdoor socket via an armoured gland or via a plug. If i use a gland (and therefore have it permanently connected) it would be notifiable.
If I use a plug (via an adjacent outdoor junction box connected to the outdoor sockets), does that class it is as a glorified extension lead and does Part P not apply? My thoughts are that I can physically disconnect the shed whenever it is not being used.
Thanks
