RCD socket outlet.

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi all,
Any comments on this one most welcome!
A customer wants me to replace an existing one gang 13 amp socket outlet with a double.
The problem is that there's no rcd protection there, so i'm thinking that as I am in effect adding a socket outlet I should fit an rcd protected one?
If I were replacing like for like it wouldn't bother me at all but the fact it's going to be a double makes me think an rcd protected one is the thing to do, just seems a bit ott to fit one rcd protected socket when there are probably 20 others that aren't rcd'd!

    So you can fit a BS 7288 SRCD only if there is no intention for it to be operated by any person.



    No - as BS 7288 is absent from both lists. (The only difference between the two lists is that the ones for skilled persons also has BS EN 60947-2 to cover CBRs and MRCDs)
