Single spur from existing ring main

[AjayK44]

Hi from newbie to this forum,

I know there are a lot of new electrical wiring regulations in place now so please could someone clarify.

As a complete DIYer but with competent knowledge and without qualification am I allowed to do the following without having to notify anyone or get it checked afterwards.

From an existing 13amp socket on the ring main run a spur cable to a double socket about 3 mtrs away.

Thank you.

Depends where it is.

In the lounge room.

Thank you

That's fine.

Make sure that the socket you are taking power from is on the ring and is not already a spur.

That's great. The socket I am taking the supply from is on the master ring.

Many Thanks
