No mate I think he is referring to the statement that came out of the NIC presentation that you shouldn't mix makes of OCPDs in the same board.

And what reg number did they state to back this up?

What about the same "products" with different names on them?

I do understand where the busbars don't line up etc BTW

Provided it is verified by the original manufacturer as being suitable. Personally I never mix manufacturers.

If it is a requirement for the type of work you undertake you will need it sooner or later.

Sorry, I mean there is a 18th edition updated guidance note 3. To match the new Regs. I can't imagine it says in the new blue Regs book, codes for different mcbs. The Wiring Regs don't do things like that.

When I get mine we must compare notes then sham. What makes you say that sham?

I have never had a manufacturer giving me it in writing that it is ok . Had unofficial advice but never willing to put it in writing.

It is similar in the 17th Ed but reworked to take in the new Reg as in #18.
