It would comply if the box is screwed to something fixed and the cables were clipped.

There are many original brown circular junction boxes in the same loft dating from the late 50s/early 60s that are not fixed and have caused no problems at all despite being not "maintenance free". The cables are not clipped. Most are not visible as they are under two layers of thermal insulation. Why would a sparky waste time fixing junction boxes in a loft with limited access due to low headroom? The box above was installed to convert a one way switched kitchen light to a two way switched light. The original wiring was a "spider" system which is a mess.

You mean that you put it in?

Nothing wrong with 'spider' system otherwise known as the 'octopus' wiring system.

My experience with kitchen and other open plan lighting on one circuit is often better fed from the octopus junction box method securely fixed to a wall or joist with easy access from the loft/ceiling hatch.
