Is it mains voltage or selv?

Mains

 

[telectrix]

you could fit a flush architrave box vertical to house the connections, then drill and plug fixings each side to mount the fitting.

Earth tag on the base or not needed?

Fitting smaller than an architrave box

No just noticed that there is no earth connection and no paperwork but it doesn't look double insolated to me

I would say that the fitting is double insulated but the base isn’t if using those connectors

 

[Bobster]

Is it even CE marked?

Looks like the only thing I can do but it's not good practice is it

They haven’t really left you an option have they - as Telectrix said, it’ll still be accessible by unscrewing it.
Needs must!

It's from a very posh company called Rowen and Wren and it's called Edgar no paperwork but it comes with a nice bag

All well an good, but if it's not got a CE mark it's not legal for them to sell it here, or for you to install it for a paying customer.

I'm not sure if a light fitting has to be CE marked, obviously its better if it is as it shows compliance but is it compulsory for a light?

I have become enlightened, it covers all electrical goods.

cut a small notch out of the wall directly behind the light and use wago connectors - its life.
