Because new work like alterations need to meet the requirements of bs7671

I'm not questioning new work, i.e. adding a new luminaire or new shaver socket. Just replacing light with shaver socket, which I guess is not like for like?

Thought I would just report back. Elecsa Technical agreed with you chaps.

My suggestion of replacing luminaire with shaver socket on existing circuit, would no longer be regarded as maintenance. Therefore the alteration/addition would need to comply with current regulations.
