type fitted breakers

Sorry, I mean there is a 18th edition updated guidance note 3. To match the new Regs. I can't imagine it says in the new blue Regs book, codes for different mcbs. The Wiring Regs don't do things like that.

Apparently there is a regulation, I am currently trying to find out the number, will update the forum, if and when I get an answer.

See #18.

It is similar in the 17th Ed but reworked to take in the new Reg as in #18.

I think the information I understood it to be was wrong think its somewhere in 536.4.203 and from what I can see it states as long as it fits OK then it's OK to use, was / is this a case of the NICEIC spreading alarmist talk among the electrical fraternity? There is a Caveat that you must have confirmation fro the makers, that the OCPDs are sfe to use in someone elses DB/CU.
