Just for info and not related to the OPs question. Domestic properties
are now required to have RCD protection on the lighting circuits even
if the cables are run in a manner or of the type that would not
require RCD protection (eg in trunking or SWA)



Does that apply to circuits that only have fixed none user accessible
stuff?
It sounds like a half baked attempt to stop people putting their fingers
in a socket getting killed.



It does apply to the fixed stuff.

However it's not actually a big game changer in the scheme of things.

The 17th edition more or less made RCD protection compulsory for most
new/altered domestic circuits so in 99% of cases this should not be a
bigger issue than following the 17th edition regs.
