Is there such a regulation?Don't you need to leave a certain percentage of spare ways for future use?
Is there such a regulation?
Spare ways just good practice if installing new board doubling up of cables in circuit breakers is in my opinion rough practiceI don't believe it's a regulation, but it is suggested that you leave a percentage of spares. Last one I did, it got 2 spares for 8 circuits. I can't remember the percentage though.
As for the question from @Jjc about identifying which cable is which... as @anthonybragg said... label it Simples And if that hasn't been done, used some basic fault finding techniques to identify it... link L-E on one, N-E on the other and a quick continuity check will establish which is which.... then you label it.

He is correct and has backed it up with a Reg number.
How would you record Zs etc on the cert with two finals coming from one MCB?
Yes I know all about circuitry and tracing circuits what about three phase boards if for some reason someone connected one of the two cables into a breakerI don't believe it's a regulation, but it is suggested that you leave a percentage of spares.

on a different phase? We are not talking simple domestics now.
Is there such a regulation?
Bit random: When designing an installation, should the distribution board/consumer unit have 25% spare capacity when installation completed?
BYB Definitions
Circuit. An assembly of electrical equipment supplied from the same origin and protected against over current by the same protective device(s)
314.4 Where an installation comprises of more than 1 final circuit, each final circuit shall be connected to a separate way in the distribution board ....
Neither of these state that a final circuit only has 1 cable
so............ I would say that the OP's original circuit complied 100%
Or the OP could have whipped out a short length of T&E, plus some Wago's and joined the 2 cables just before the MCB and then what
