This is a good thread, one that could take up days of debating at the IET. We understand the regulations are not retrospective but here we asking to confirm that when it was installed, it did comply at the time with the past regs (for warranty). In these days of litigation why pay for a rewire if you can prove it was done incorrectly and claim. Brilliant.
 
Just another thought. Let’s say that the initial work was done in accordance with say 16th and cert issued. This is the cert being compared against now. How do we know that the downlighters were not changed since then and the work (and connectors) was not the work done by the certifying sparks.

Doesn't sound like a rewire. More like a new build done less than 10 years ago. Maybe the OP can confirm?
 
6-10 years ago MR16 Downlighters where all the in thing. Now it's all LED, so it wouldn't be a surprise to see downlighters replaced even if only for GU10 fittings with LED lamp.
