Provided it is verified by the original manufacturer as being suitable. Personally I never mix manufacturers.Reading note 2, it saying it's ok, as long it's fit for purpose. Or am I misreading it.

If it is a requirement for the type of work you undertake you will need it sooner or later.Would you recommend buying the 18th edition now. Is it allot different.

It has not been type tested there for does not conform to specification .eg fitting . possible compromising of ip rating due to size etcWhy would you give a C2 for a different manufacturers MCB?
The popcorn and CEF WATERYeah Darren Staniforth said in the ill fated cinema trip. He spent about all of a minute on it. But he did quote a regs number
When I get mine we must compare notes then sham. What makes you say that sham?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.
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.Provided it is verified by the original manufacturer as being suitable. Personally I never mix manufacturers.
It is similar in the 17th Ed but reworked to take in the new Reg as in #18.
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.Sorry, I mean there is a 18th edition updated guidance note 3.

See #18.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.
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.It is similar in the 17th Ed but reworked to take in the new Reg as in #18.
