I'm just wondering, Is this 10 amps per switch or overall, or per switch, I've got a 2 gang switch thanks
 
It will be fine, the switch won't be subjected to a current above its rating. The circuit just won't work as the MCB should trip.

FFS - does NO-ONE actually read a thread properly anymore??!!

The OP was asking a reasonable question (albeit for maybe questionable reasons) - 10A is the rating PER SWITCH - simple enough answer, move on.... He then says that he's going to be using each switch to operate a separate load, one is 2kW and the other is 1kW. At no point does he say 3kW. Moving on... he then says that each cct is going to be on a separate RCBO, each at a rating suitable for that load. At no point does he mention MCB's, so there won't be any to trip. Move on........

There's no point in trying to answer a question if you either don't know the answer or can't be bothered to pay attention to the question!!
