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?

    There was a discussion about cooker switches with sockets not so long ago, and whether the socket is an anachronism from a previous era.


    The best solutions are to either install a RCD for the circuit or replace the switch with one without a socket.
