What are you basing your safe to use on, it fits it's fine?Wow, Thank you for all your thoughts/suggestions on this Mix and Match subject. I still think that if someone on the tools can resolve issues and make a judgement call on what is safe to use, regardless of OEM parts, then they should be allowed. I sign off my work, with a deviation where necessary.
If specs of one mcb/rcbo to another are so different then why are they manufactured to the same BS EN xxxxx number?
Only one regret...I had to use a different melted main switch on a Hager CSU (spare schnieder) , no local spares available. The family were sitting in the dark. When the power was back on it looked terrible but it fitted okay, just spoiled the Hager look.....The family were happy though.

Safe to use based on fit , rating, manufactured to BS EN 60947 3 & not purchasing it from the toy section in B&M.
What I do or don't do isn't relevant but one thing I do know is you appear to lack technical ability and judgement but as I say your choice maybe it is just ignorance on your part.
As a temporary get them back on that's ok, but I would hope you went back and changed it.Only one regret...I had to use a different melted main switch on a Hager CSU (spare schnieder) , no local spares available.

Where in the Blue Book does it say that?
Off the top of my head 134.1.1 ?
Even if the regs don't say that, the manufacturers will, and somewhere in the book I'm fairly sure there's a comment about compliance with manufacturers instructions overriding the regs. An example of that was fitting RCDs to shower circuits.
indeed, but they are also complying with CE legislation.
I have read this several times but have no idea what you are striving to clarify. I am not sure if you have access to BS7671 Regulation 536.4.203 maybe not and your naive post suggests you lack engineering judgement.
No such Regulation in the Blue Book.
Well it's on page 22 of my blue book !
134 134.1 134.1.1 134.1.2
Shall take into account means, “to take into consideration or to allow for a particular matter in the actual decision” (not written in BS7671)
