Stumbled across this template in one of our offices the other day. Before we had British Sparks on the ground, there was an american electrician in charge of it all.
I cannot believe this is the document used to certify his work!!??
currently filling out a EIC for a CU change, on the schedule of inspection.
One of the boxes asks about routing of cables in the correct zones.

Do I put this as LIM?
Thanks

Did a job today where I had a 6mm T&E on a 32amp retrofit MCB (re used old circuit) going into a RCD spur (13amp) then a 2.5mm going off to a shower pump. There is also an unswitched 3amp fused spur halfway down the 2.5mm with a 1mm going to a mirror light.
