So my closing post on this issue...
What has come about from this somewhat heated debate, is one or two members have either contacted their respective C.P.Schemes, the NICEIC in this instance, or the IET directly, both organisations have declared that the issue presented to them by members of the Forum, in their opinion is non compliant with BS7671.
It begins to make you wonder how many other inconclusive issues have been left for us Electrical operatives to debate, argue and form our own conclusions, without any definitive statements published by the IET.
Now I know there will be many people out there who will say it's always been this way.
The Regulations, the OSG, the various guidance Notes are not cheap, and those who try to abide by the rules conscientiously buy these publications religiously every time there are updates.
Now back to earlier both the NICEIC and IET have said the issue posed by the OP is non compliant, but seem to be reluctant to provide any proof of non compliance.
I deleted your comment and the associated ones because even though there was no malice to it it was inappropriate for a public forum.Oi! You deleted my comment..
First, I didn’t pay a decorator to do anything, second, you should have read more than 1st 3 pages as you would have seen I did call out an electrician.

Thanks that clears that issue up nicely
The op could always mark it down as a departure when he signs to say he has designed the circuit.
Then even if appendix 15 is not just guidance, it would not be coded unsatisfactory on an eicr. Not that it would anyway if it didn't affect the safety of the installation, but it's down to the designer to decide.
Seems as though if you have the wherewithal to alter drawings you can make yourself look clever. But why spoil a serious debate with cheap shots? not like you Westy.My App15 shows it as being fineView attachment 45061
But regardless, fundamentally (as I've stated so many times I've lost count) I agree... it's not good practice
You're Lucky he didn't delete you for the commentOi! You deleted my comment..

You been watching to much Star Trek MateThe whole bs 7671 could be speculation. For all we know we might not even really exist...
If that's all it was OKCome Pete just trying to lighten the mood a bit, did you have to give it a second look
My comment was tongue in cheek! however it's true you don't need to be a spark to fill in a valid eic correctly!The OP isn’t a spark .......
