Sorry, I mean there is a 18th edition updated guidance note 3. To match the new Regs. I can't imagine it says in the new blue Regs book, codes for different mcbs. The Wiring Regs don't do things like that.
When I get mine we must compare notes then sham. What makes you say that sham?
 
Provided it is verified by the original manufacturer as being suitable. Personally I never mix manufacturers.
I have never had a manufacturer giving me it in writing that it is ok . Had unofficial advice but never willing to put it in writing.

Apparently there is a regulation, I am currently trying to find out the number, will update the forum, if and when I get an answer.

It is similar in the 17th Ed but reworked to take in the new Reg as in #18.
I think the information I understood it to be was wrong think its somewhere in 536.4.203 and from what I can see it states as long as it fits OK then it's OK to use, was / is this a case of the NICEIC spreading alarmist talk among the electrical fraternity? There is a Caveat that you must have confirmation fro the makers, that the OCPDs are sfe to use in someone elses DB/CU.
