Please can people clarify what value they insert in the Max Zs field on certification.

So I've been told by the NICEIC not to use the 80% rule for max Zs (even though that's the table provided on the inside of the cert books). They want me to use the 100% values from table 41.3 in the BYB. Not a problem.
However I can't seem to find a table for the BS EN 3871 MCB's in there...

"Double sockets are rated for 20A draw, over this long term...
