Nobody will get board changes done when the board costs £2k on its own when they can get a BG from screwfix for £70, it's bad enough now! completely counter intuitive regulation

I see the "what price do you put on safety" comments now but I think making them mandatory is a step to far IMO especially when the AFCI's used across the pond don't appear to get good reviews as to how beneficial they really are.Nobody will get board changes done when the board costs £2k on its own when they can get a BG from screwfix for £70, it's bad enough now! completely counter intuitive regulation
An AFDD that covers more than 1 circuit would be a nightmare.So is there no AFDD which can be installed and protect multiple circuits (like an RCD on a dual split board for instance)?
But are they?I see the "what price do you put on safety" comments now but I think making them mandatory is a step to far IMO especially when the AFCI's used across the pond don't appear to get good reviews as to how beneficial they really are.
Yes there is but it would create a whole new problem of which circuit caused it to trip or was it a nuisance tripSo is there no AFDD which can be installed and protect multiple circuits (like an RCD on a dual split board for instance)?
If we abide by the regs and cost a board change for £2000 for example includings AFDDs, how are we supposed to compete with builders/handymen/cowboys who will completely ignore that part of the regulations and price for a dual split board and the customer will be clueless?
