If the first socket on a radial is an RCD protected one like this:
http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=A231858&ts=39853&id=13149#
....is the rest of the radial considered to be protected by the same RCD or not?
To put it another way...could the supply for a freezer in a garage follow on from this type of RCD socket without tripping if there was an earth fault registered on an appliance plugged into the said socket?

Cheers

If you think about it the next socket, to the RCD one, will be connected to the supply side, meaning that it by passes the RCD.

The next socket to the RCD socket is connected to the supply side so it will by-pass the RCD.
You can use a 13A fuesed connection with RCD (integrated) and than you can ceate a radial circuit with as many sockets you whish and they all will be protected by the RCD.
