Don't worry about it Polo, we are all here to help each other, My memory is rubbish can't remember what I done yesterday.lolTbh, I was being a bit lazy in asking the question here, as my byb is in the hands of another. I was/am having brain fade on this. I know there is mention of local & remote isolation, but couldn't recall if isolation beyond the mcb is an actual requirement. I'm suitably embarrassed
Well I for one would not fly in the face of manufacturers instructions as this would void any warranty for a start.Fortunately, we no longer have to comply with manufacturer's instructions, just take account of them.
LOL. It's debateable whether that is really any different. If you "take account" of the instructions you might need good reason to then dismiss them.Fortunately, we no longer have to comply with manufacturer's instructions, just take account of them.

For those saying the MI must be followed, what would you do if the MI were blatantly wrong (which I've seen on many an occasion)? Would you still follow them blindly, or would you apply a little common sense and decide for yourself the best course of action? If you'd do the latter, how is that any different than choosing not to provide a local isolator for an appliance?
I suppose a common example is if you had to get a fridge cable through a unit. The MI says you must use the fitted plug. Keeping that intact is going to be a nice big hole somewhere in the unit. Option 2 is you could cut the end off, drill a nice snug smaller hole, and attach another plug leaving a tidier job. It's no less safe than it was with the fitted plug.
Well reg - 134.1.1 - If you choose to not follow that reg you blatently ignoring bs7671 & MI, i dont think that would look good in a court room.
