Good, technically you got it. LABC is up to his electrician - this bit of admin does not make is safer. But now no cowboy will come in and say "a new CU guv", and charge the earth.

This forum can be useful at times. Thanks to flameport.

It has worked faultlessly for over 30 years.

I could have spent the last 30 years faultlessly driving about with no seatbelt or airbags.

You are talking regs now. The reality is that the single cable will supply double insulated data equipment in a cupboard.

Doesn't matter.

The socket will be plastic.

Doesn't matter.

The equipment will be on 24/7.

Doesn't matter.

It is not a power ring with high current metal kettles & heaters open to people touching the metal surfaces and the likes.

Doesn't matter.

That is where people's safety is then paramount.

People's safety is always paramount.

It will be fine for a few years until update.

No, it won't.

Risk of electrocution on this circuit is very, very low.

Doesn't matter.

A new 32A ring would need the RCD for sure.

Any new circuit with concealed cables or sockets will need an RCD. And Building Regulations notification.

Could put in one of those RCD sockets. But overkill for light, double insulated, data equipment in a cupboard.

You don't appear to have a clue why RCDs are needed.

We choose to use common sense as well.

Those of us who have any do.

I explained what the circuit will be and what it will be powering.

Doesn't matter.

A very low risk.

Risk of what?

Actually, after a quick look, your link, although far longer than the actual law, seems quite reasonable.

It states:
"2.7 Regulation 12(6A) sets out electrical installation work that is notifiable."

You may notice these two numbers, 12 and 6A at the beginning of the page in my link.

He doesn't seem to have noticed this:

I can see why you have chosen that forum name.

You really have chosen a very apt user name.

it seems to be a case of "everyone other than hard-work" (I wonder how he got that name?!)

Try to ignore HardWork. He really is.

LABC is up to his electrician

If by that you mean his electrician may decide for himself whether to comply with the law then no, he may not.

Perhaps this means that Hard-work isn’t the electrician. That’s a relief.

 

[hard-work]

You don't appear to have a clue why RCDs are needed.

You are a known fool.

Beware of electrical rip-off merchants.
