EICR code- Cooker switch with a socket outlet lacking RCD protection.

Sparkingchip
1980's end of terrace house, MEM Memera consumer unit with a RCBO to provide 30 mA RCD protection to the socket ring circuit, but no other circuits have RCD protection and there is not any outdoor sockets at all.


There is a cooker switch incorporating a 13-amp socket outlet, which is the closest socket to the kitchen window and with 1.5 metres of it, this socket does not have 30 mA RCD protection, what EICR code should be applied and why?

    I should add there are probably millions of cooker switches with an incorporated socket outlet in the UK that do not have 30 mA RCD protection, I am going to have to be perfectly honest and admit that there is still one in my house. I replaced the original fuse board with RCDs for all circuits, but the cooker circuit is still connected through a separate fused switch connected through a Henly block in the tails that needs to migrate into the main consumer unit.
