By multiplying the total load of the lamp by 1.8 then you are allowing for the effect of all the above on the circuit.

Probably come to regret this but I will stick my neck out Firstly what part of the world are you working in as local regulations will dictate any requirements but I would Err on the safe side & either fit RCBO's or Rcd's. As you have said its a wet environment, lots of metal work & its unlikely that a competent person will be constantly around. Now for the incomming sniper fire to shoot ...

Hi. 1. Issue an EIC only for the circuit you have installed. Any comments/deviations on the existing installation you can put in the comments/departures box on the cert 2. To cover an entire installation with one RCD contravines the regs so either it should be a dual RCD board or DP isolator with each circuit on it's own RCBO (if applicable).
