Fuse/Socket Question?

[dingo doo]

My main fusebox in my home has various fuses from B6 to B40.

One of the current fuse is a B6 and is for the door bell. I no longer use the door bell so still have the transformer and a separate switch to turn off. I was thinking of removing the switch and replacing it with a single 13a plug socket so it can power my broadband router.

Is the B6 fuse/circuit suitable to be reused to power router? It would only be used to power router which will power 12v 2.5amp adaptor

Basically can I replace the switch for a socket so it can power internet router without any issues?

No, as that doesn't have an RCD. All socket outlets require RCD protection.
Changing it to an RCBO may be an option.
The installation is 6 years overdue for an inspection.

Or put it on the spare 16amp mob on the RCD side ….

Or put it on the spare 16amp mob on the RCD side ….

Won’t that be a new (notifiable) circuit?

A non-compliant notifiable new circuit.

I would swap the FCU for a RCD socket. It may not fully comply, but safe enough, can't do that if renting, but owner occupier use common sense.

If the wiring were surface mounted, would it comply then?
