Part P outside 13 amp socket outlet Notifiable?

Billy Boy

Hi 

I just wanted to check if the following is notifiable under the Part P regs:

An installation of an IP rated 13amp twin socket, to the external front of the house near the front door in a domestic premises. Circuit is extended from an existing ring main, which in turn is protected by an RCD 30ma. A minor works cert has been provided for the install. 

I am assuming as it is not a special location or a new circuit it is not notifiable ?

Just checking to see if that is right as I have seen a note in the Part P document that discuss external installations being Notifiable?

Thanks

Billy

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for that, see below an extract from the Part P document, am I reading it correct?

    England dropped quite a few of the bits required for notification purposes some years ago whilst Wales stayed with it. So it might depend where you are as far as that is concerned.

    That is true. Part P does apply to those areas, but Part P merely states that all electrical work must be done to ensure safety.

    That is It in its entirety.

    However, you are confusing Part P (above) with Regulation 12 which states the notification requirements in England (Schedule 4 still in Wales) and Approved Document P which contains the actual legislation (in shaded green areas) plus a lot of "guidance".

    It has only been seventeen years.

    "It has only been seventeen years." I know a Building Contractor type who had no idea of CDM regs over a longer period than that, he will not be alone. So it all counts as "new fangled regs" Geoff Wink
