Adding a spur to run cable to outside socket Ask questions and find answers to many subjects relating to electrics and electrical work

Hello, can anyone tell me whether there are special regs regarding adding a spur that will run to an external power socket. Also, whilst I understand fully how to add one spur how do you add two spurs in order to have a double socket?

[sparx]

A spur can be 1 single or 1 double socket on one 2.5mm cable.
You do know of course you can't fit outside socket yourself as this is a 'controlled service' under bldg regs part p,

Sheesh, part P is pretty restrictive. Would an Electrical Engineer for the CAA be able to self certify?

[sparx]

No!
regardless of other qualifications must be registered with one of the self certification bodies, Regards SPARX
