1 • GENERAL WARNINGS
• Your attention is drawn to:
BS 7671:2018–Guidance Note 8 - 8.13 : Other locations of
increased risk
It is recognized that there may be locations of increased risk
of electric shock other than those specifically addressed in
Part 7 of BS 7671. Examples of such locations could include
laundries where there are washing and drying machines in
close proximity and water is present, and commercial kitchens
with stainless steel units, where once again, water is present.
Where because of the perception of additional risks being
likely, the installation designer decides that an installation or
location warrants further protective measures, the options
available include:
ADS by means of a residual current device having a residual
operating current not exceeding 30mA;
Reduction of maximum fault clearance time.
The provision of RCDs and supplementary bonding must be
specified by the host organization’s appointed installation
designer or electrical contractor and installed by a suitably
qualified and competent electrician so as to comply with
Regulations 419.2 and 544.2”
