RCD Protection to existing lighting circuits vs 18th edition

adi_mrok
Good day all,

I have a client who wishes to replace lighting within the building and the simple question I have is do I have to allow for RCD protection for altered circuits as per 18th edition or can I omit the RCD as we can treat it as retrofit? We have an old type of the fuseboard so I would need to allow for separate enclosure fitted with RCDs. Cheers everyone!

    Thank you chaps for your comments. This is a commercial premises where there is an existing cabling already and we are going to replace lights like for like so no extra cabling as well. I think my confusion came from putting RCD on all light circuits on domestic installations in 18th edition and I mixed it up with commercial, thanks for clarification and help!
