Re: Re: New Regs to kill DIY HA?

Does that mean that if I put in a whole new lighting circuit, as long as it
runs back to an exisiting or certified fused spur, I'm legal? Or even a few
sockets, subject to the total 13A max?

What about external wiring - if it comes from an existing or certified
fused RCD spur box, is it exempt?

Would it make a difference if it was connected through a plugtop?

BTW I'm the qualified electrician's worst nightmare. In my time I've
rewired a few houses, replumbed as well including gas plumbing. I regard
myself as competent, even if I don't qualify in the meaning of part P.

What I would like is a DIY self certification course and qualification. I
am certified to pack skydiver's reserve parachutes, and that requires
considerable care and knowledge of current information, I assure you, so I
don't see that learning and staying current with wiring regs is too onerous
a task. I can't be the only person in this position.
