201 series of regs , notification, and the term domestic

Alcomax
I know it is not clear cut. But where say a pub has live in accommodation and if they share the same metered supply, any notifiable works are subject to the dreaded part p**.


BS7671 has a series of regs ........201, sometimes, especially applying to "domestic" premises; like 421.1.201 .To my mind a pub a described above is commercial, but of course works on the wiring is subject to the P.


But if you have one DB in the clearly commercial part, supplying all final circuits in the building, I do not see some ......201's applying to say a replacement DB if it is not actually in the what P describes as a domestic dwelling. I except there is still notification requirement, as I have always understood it.

    Another conundrum, this has thrown up.

    You will be aware that various schemes have different levels of "membership".

    Some can do "domestics only" , notionally these are the only things "assessed" under that level of membership and supposedly "guaranteed".


    Same for EICRs; limited to those assessed for such a task. If not, you still do them, but there is no come back to the scheme as it is "out of scope" of membership. A distinct advantage to those so inclined and so you have many, many threads on EICRs in this forum.


    Effectively, the DB change in the OP has been done in quite clearly a "non - domestic", aside from it needing notification due to meter share. So this work is out of scope of the Installer; it will never be assessed or viewed at an annual assessment....but....paradoxically it is notifiable, the whole point of "domestic installer schemes".


    So the scheme Notifies, but scheme does not verify at any stage. It is in some limbo somewhere. There will be no come back to the scheme operator by the person ordering the work.  This is very much having your cake and eating it, so all the responsibility magically vanishes.
