He didn't say it wasn't switchgear. That doesn't mean that it's a similar switchgear assembly to a distribution board though, which is what the Regulation actually states. It doesn't provide overcurrent protection so isn't similar.You dont class an rcd as switchgear then? I dont agree with that you are complying with current regs in that scenario!

I absolutely agree that the Regulation is somewhat vague allowing more than one interpretation of it. What I have suggested should merely be construed as my opinion on the matter.In fairness, me and a lot of others were of the same opinion, and the guidance I received went in a similar vein. To some the reg is clear as the days long, but IMO its not, and they have had the opportunity to make it clearer.
Doesn't make sense, that two pieces of similar equipment or enclosures can be installed side by side, one has to be metal the other doesn't.

Yes.So if you wanted to fit an rcd before a consumer unit would you take the tails from the cut out into the incoming side of an rcd then take tails from the rcd into the incoming main switch?
MAKE THE DAM REGULATION CLEAR.
There’s always amendment 1 to look forward to.
