EV Charging - You Tube Video RCD Protection

Knowing the square root of didley squat about EV chargers I thought a little research was in order so I watched an NICEIC contractor install EV charging in his own home, a 30 minute you tube video.  

The installer stated the EV charger comes with an RCD and I noticed (for discrimination reasons I guess) parked the mcb adjacent to the main isolation switch on the CU (not connected to the CU 30mA RCD).  

Does this not leave the EV circuit (which is only one cable from the CU to the appliance)  unprotected and therefore not compliant ? Also apart from the 40A MCB no isolation switch adjacent to or near the EV charger had been included in the install.  

Is all this compliant or not ?

  • Presumably the circuit cable does not need RCD protection being installed clipped direct, is SWA or is enclosed in conduit or trunking with TN earthing.

    An isolation switch is not always required.

    So compliant.
