Well done. So in a fault situation the punter has no lights until the faulty fan is changed.

Can you
not think of a way to remedy that?

Another point I thought of - fitted one last week (in line monster fan) plugged in, in the loft. They didn't want it operated by the lights.

AIM - just re reading your post, I wan't suggesting NOT fitting a local isolator to a bathroom fan...? Just questioning the 3 pole necessity and highlighting the reason behind it. As in its not really nec. In a room flooded with daylight!

But manufacturer instruction overrules of course.

you can always take a permernat feed off the light and put in a PIR for the fan so as you walk in the fan comes on if the lights on or off

Had problems with a lighting circuit last week. Before fault finding had to link out four dimmers and remove SELV chandilier [2 feet across] and a couple of SELV lights in the kitchen. Took over an hour to prepare the circuit for testing. Then the same to rectify faults.

Could have saved over half an hour, and the help of a second person by leaving the SELV chandilier switched off and fudging the EICR.

I can't do that, I work for my self, so set my own standards. Some poor souls have pressure from above to get the job done.

Drive-by EICRs will cost lives. But unless challenged, nothing will change for the better.

Remember it will be the person filling in the EICR form who will end up at the Coroners inquest...
