Its only wiring regs, (non mandatory)

Except where Regulations 21 or 22 of the ESQCR apply.

I don't quite see that, but if as a result of removing the bonding, somebody had been injured, there may well have been a case in negligence.

I think Graham is suggesting that if there was any local generation (either parallel or switched alternative) that the ESQCR demands compliance with "British Standard Requirements" - i.e. BS 7671:2008 - thus the wiring regs would be legally mandatory.

Ah yes, I see what you mean.


Let's not forget our friend the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020; and the only other statutory reference to BS 7671 seems to be in the definitions in paragraph 4 of Sch 4 of the Building Regulations 2010 where the 2008 edition's definition of the zones of certain "special locations" are adopted.
