Not sure I agree with that . Wales use the 2010 version of Part P

Yes, exactly (although nothing to do with Part P)

Schedule four lists things that are NOT notifiable and specifically states:

"2. Work which—
(a)is not in a kitchen, or a special location;
(b)does not involve work on a special installation; and
(c)consists of—
(i)adding light fittings and switches to an existing circuit, or
(ii)adding socket outlets and fused spurs to an existing ring or radial circuit.

The Building Regulations 2010

These Regulations revoke and replace the Building Regulations 2000 (S.I. 2000/2531) (“the 2000 Regulations”), and consolidate all subsequent amendments to those Regulations with minor amendments. The amendments include removing the requirement, where building work involves inserting insulation...

Ah - what about an unfused spur?

Oh not this again

I suppose one might argue that such counts as "adding sockets to .... an existing ring or radial circuit" ??

[EFLImpudence]

Then why specify 'fused spurs'?

I don't really understand why yo don't agree, since the 'non-change' in Wales was my whole point.

Wales is still using the original (2004/5, not 2010) notification rules, which explicitly allowed addition of a fused spur to be installed without notification.

[As has been pointed out to you, "Part P" has not changed in any country of the UK since it's inception. All that has changed (in 2013) is the 'notification rules', but that only in England. ]

Don't ask me!

Except you have omitted "work that is not in a kitchen or special location and does not involve a special installation and consists of ..........

meaning that adding (ii) above in a kitchen or special location is notifiable

See my post above (source 2010 version of Part P , page 7)

Part P has no pages.

This is it in its entirety.

There is no more.

Are you saying you were referring to work that was in a kitchen?

 

[JohnW2]

Indeed - in Wales or pre-2013 England - but are we talking about either of those? ... and are we talking about a 'special location'?

Who knows. Just your normal rambling, slightly off topic

My "rambling off-topic" ?? I didn't start this discussion about notifiability in different parts of the UK.
