Does this setup contravene any regs or is it ok?

just to be an a**e they are... they are electronic circuits (assuming the GU10 is an LED)

My example was halogen. So there

By your definition my electric razor is a circuit. And a gu10 lamp.

Not my definition, and no, neither of those items.
A toaster perhaps, or a kettle.

True, only thing is you're using the bs7671 definition but that only applies to fixed wiring. Make it an fcu and I'll agree

The definition of a circuit, makes no reference to fixed wiring.

So a toaster is a circuit but not an electric razor. I really don't get this definition of circuit you are using.

Does your electric razor have a fused plug?

It's an appliance. It is current using equipment. Just like a table lamp or a fridge freezer, or anything that plugs into a 13A socket. It is NOT a circuit.

I’m glad that we have established that something that satisfies a definition in BS7671 is not necessarily the thing being defined.
So does this mean you are stating 2 circuits connected to the same MCB are 2 circuits or 1?

Deleted on the grounds of I can’t be bothered to comment on ridiculous comments

At risk of adding to the fire, App 15 Fig 15A in BBB states that "an infused spur may be connected to the origin of the circuit in the distribution board". Which to me says the origin of circuits is the distribution board (no toasters need apply, sorry) and a circuit may branch from within the board.

I think the majority of us share the same opinions on this issue luckily.
