Notifiable?

I'm sure all the cable could be damaged, for example when replacing one bit, your tools might catch on an adjacent piece ;)

My money is still on non-notifiable as the exact wording 'Replacing the cable for a single circuit only' seems to be stating cable from a whole circuit can be replaced?

The thing that you would have to think about is that, if you had to, could you argue your point in a court room and win?
To my mind you are still missing out the "where damaged" part, which to me means that you can only replace the damaged section without notifying, not the whole circuit. However if all sections of the cable were damaged (not likely & I'm not meaning without a CPC) then would that be a different matter?

Replacing the cable for a single circuit only, where damaged, for example, by fire, rodent or impact
 
im for non notifiable here.

IMO if you know what your doing and you do a spot on job plus issue the minor works certificate then i cant really see a problem.

i mean who's ever going to pick up on it?

a all for part p and dont generally approve of anyone who's not qualified/registered doing anything without strictly following the rules but from your posts you seem to know what your doing and was concerned enough to spark the debate.

personally i would do the job, just make sure you do it perfect and fill in the cert correctly.

This is the actual quote from table 1 (page 3) of the part p doc, however I would suggest that it means that you could replace the damaged section only, without notifying.

I think you must be looking at the guidance to the building regs which can be found here: http://www.planningportal.gov.uk/uploads/br/BR_PDF_ADP_2006.pdf on Page 8.
What I quoted is from the Statutory Instrument, http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2004/20043210.htm incorporating http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2006/20060652.htm reads like this: //wiki.diynot.com/electrics:part_p:statutory_instrument

Quite right, I was quoting from the approved document. Thanks for the links to the other docs BTW.

Surely though a cable (in the sense of these docs) ends at each termination, as they refer to the replacement of damaged cables.
I can see that you would have to replace the entire run of a cooker circuit (CU to CCU), however you would only have to replace the damaged sections of a lighting circuit or final ring. Going beyond replacing these damaged sections would be exceeding the scope of Part P??

However do what you've go to do, so long as it's safe that's the main thing!!
