Both a shaver socket and a site transformer are examples of a source of electrical separated supplies.
However neither are individual items of equipment suplied by electrical separation.
I see where you are coming from with that, but as theres a sepreate tick box for selv, if you had no selv in an instalation but you did have a shaver point, would you put N/A in the electrical seperation box? that then means the shaver point is not checked except for its bs number under BS 7671. The way I see it any Isolation transformer that supplys a piece of equipment with voltages greater than selv should be checked for electrical seperation. otherwise in your eyes it falls under no catogry at all. But I do see what you mean about it not being a piece of equipment :)

I disagree, they are supplied from the HV / LV tranny in a substation:biggrinjester:
 
I seem to remember on the old schedule of inspections there were separate boxes for circuits supplying one item of equipment, and multiple items. On the new EICR SOI there are sections under locations containing a bath or shower for
'Where used as a protective measure, requirements of SELV or PELV met (701.414.4.5)' and
'Shaver sockets comply with BSEN61558-2-5 formerly BS3535 (701.512.3)'.

If for whatever reason you had some non-standard system of electrical separation it could be listed under comments, but I would think that would be too rare to warrant a dedicated box on the form.
