Further thoughts?
I think the trajectory has been heading along these lines and Amd 2 finally implements the blanket requirement, Andy - regardless of circumstances.
Like you, I'll be busy dreaming up the work arounds for those situations where RCD's are not appropriate, nor offer any real safety benefits
That might include 63A socket outlets, where 32A would have sufficed (and the MCB may well still be 32A) and the interposition of all manner of gizmo's to ensure those socket outlets are not connected to fixed wiring - plus the increasing use of "non socket" socket outlets - ie use an alternative means of cable coupler device
I think we lost the plot when we disregarded the "skilled and instructed" in favour of "carelessness of users"
