522.6.203 RCD protection required for cables in metal stud walls, what about ceilings?

    The one flat I moved the lighting to the RCD protected side of the consumer unit, in the other I swapped the main switch out for a RCD, a quick fix in both flats.


    So both flats now have all their circuits protected by a RCD removing several  observations and codes from the EICR.


    I won’t be able to do something like that every time, so some will have to be coded.


    Make a determination.
