Very true........A socket is a socket, and you have no control over who might disconnect the boiler for a few minutes while the work's going on to plug in some dubious equipment of their own.
It's really difficult for me as the owner of the business to make that final decision as it could be catastrophic should I make an incorrect decision. I may seem like I am being overly dramatic about it but I have to be absolutely certain that I have covered all the bases. I know it should be a very straightforward decision and I fully understand your logic.If you hard wire it and ADS is provided by an mcb or fuse then additional RCD protection is not required. The Certificate should state your responsibility stops at the boiler which would be covered by other standards anyway.
So if I chose to not install additional protection then I have to supply a risk assessment stating my reasons why is that correct. I will have to find a template for that online as I have not needed to do this before.
