Why not just wire the bathroom with a 3 amp fuse to the lighting and fan then wire everything downstream off the fused spur, problem solved

Shouldnt be a sfcu doing the whole bathroom as the ideal of a local isolator is to isolate the fan itself without interrupting other supplies ie.. lights.
I always put a 3a module fuse holder in a click mini 3 apparatus faceplate along side the 3pole isolator. On 1st fix i always mark the loop in loop out cable and they get paired into the top of fuseholder, thus making perm live & sw live 3A protected.

Do i think its OTT. Yes!
Do i do it to cover my own ---. Yes!
Will the fan manufacturer be able to point liability at me if the fan goes up in flames . No!!
 
Ask a grown-up to explain ;);):)
Are you grown up?
Can you explain what difference the permanent feed being fused at 3A would make to the requirement for RCD protection?
Can you further explain what the discussion regarding fusing both the permanent feed and the switched feed has in relation to the requirement for RCD protection?
