Reg (537.5.1.3)

Permanently connected equipment such as built in washing machines, electric ovens,etc, is often connected to the supply by means of a plug and socket outlet located behind the appliance. A separate control switch need not to be installed provided that:

1. A functional switch is incorporated in the appliance, and the appliance is locally protected by a fuse to BS 1362, of a rating not exceeding 13 A, or

2. The circuit is protected by a circuit breaker of a rating not exceeding 16 A.

Yes and Chr!s is right that the definitive part of the reg is the word preferable, it's giving you the chance as the designer to install in a safe manor, but as you say sometimes you have to perhaps interpret things a little different.
