Like for like requirements

Jimi

Hi, I know like for like replacement is classed as maintenance and a MEIWC isn't required. With an alteration to a circuit the new work has to comply with the latest BS7671, so some of the existing installation will need to comply also to allow the new work to comply, like RCD (if required), bonding, existing equipment rating and condition etc.

Am I right in thinking that for like for like this is not required? So if there was no bonding or RCD protection you could still change a light fitting for example.

What if there was no CPC at the light and you were fitting a class 1 or class 2 fitting? Or getting crazy, no CPC on a socket front change?

Thanks.

    A local company prints NCR copy sets for me, actually they were the only printers who knew what they were when I ask a few for quotes.

    One printer actually emailed me a quote for “NCR pads including two sheets of carbon paper per pad”.

    The printer who does the NCR (No Carbon Required) pads for me explained that digital printers can’t actually do NCR pads if you want reverse printing on the top sheet, because the paper is too thin and when you print one side you cannot then put the paper back through the printer to print the reverse.

    Being traditional printers they have made some aluminium type sheets to print my NCR pads, making the first set of pads expensive, but easy to reorder at a lower cost.
