Chapter 54 Earthing arrangements and protective conductors
Regulation 542.1.201 has been modified and now requires an additional
earth electrode, supplementing any earthing facility provided by the
distributor.

Does that mean all TN-S and TN-C-S will require retro-fitting of an
earthing rod?

Building Regs are not retrospective.



Some IET Regs are - eg bonding and earthing must be brought up to spec
when anything electrical is worked on.


Define "anything electrical is worked on"


Changing the battery in the customer's vibrator ;-)


I don't think that that the ones in Lou's are changeable.

It's a sealed unit (dishwasher proof) and the batteries are charged by
induction.
