As the Rexel header correctly states.Actually it's not. It's single pole with a switched neutral.

Don't think I've ever come across a DP RCBO, but a DP MCB has a current sensing element in each pole, and usually consists of two SP MCBs rivetted together with a link between the toggles. A SP & N MCB has a current sensing element in the live pole and just a switch in the neutral.
If the RCBO in question was used on a split phase supply, the RCD element would still work on both poles (unless there was an equal leak to earth on each phase), but one of the phases would not have any overload or short circuit protection.
Actually, it's a DP Rcbo that has no current sensing on the neutral side.Actually it's not. It's single pole with a switched neutral. But I know what u mean
