Thank you. Do you happen to know which reg please? I guess it could also Explain why the leads have been left long on the RCBOs in The existing board. They did not have a crimp tool and left the original ferrule on..,The reg's refer to fine-wire as seen in flexes etc and not your bog standard stranded cables so all fine wires must be dressed unless the termination is specifically designed for fine wire undressed.
526.9, page 146 of BBB.Do you happen to know which reg please?
By 'fine stranded' do you mean flexible?Fine stranded cables, always bootlaced, whatever the application.
Except 13A plugs, they were never designed for them.

Agree in general but I wouldn't say 'whatever'.
What about lampholder/rose flex?
Although, factory fitted plugs (non moulded), generally, do come crimped, without the 'bootlace', as do lampholder/rose flexes.
You can use uninsulated bootlace ferrules,the 'shoulders' of insulated ones just won't goFine stranded cables, always bootlaced, whatever the application.

If a rose is equipped as standard with a flex then I would assume that the terminal is designed to take that type of cable
Also handy for grid switches that have little clearance behind the body.You can use uninsulated bootlace ferrules,the 'shoulders' of insulated ones just won't go
Wellington bootlace, by any chance?Hager boards used to come with two ferrules for the tails a few years ago.
Same here... I probably use more uninsulated that insulated.
Have I taken this too literally?
