[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 548924, member: 250"] For clarification BS7671 does NOT say to follow manufactures instructions... However regulation 134.1.1 does state that "the installation of electrical equipment shall take account of manufactures instructions". And regulation 536.4.203 also states "in low voltage assemblies to the BS EN 61439 series, e.g. consumer units, distribution boards, incorporated devices and components shall only be those declared suitable according to the assembly manufactures instructions or literature" Note 2 goes on to say that if you do mix different manufactures components in the same assembly, the person introducing the variation from the original design verification, takes on the responsibilities of the assembly manufacture to confirm all amend design devices are suitable with all its corresponding obligations. In summary is does not say you cannot.. But if you do and something later goes pear-shaped with brown stuff hitting the air movement device.... You don't have much of a leg to stand on as there is guidance suggesting you should only mix if you have back up evidence that the different devices you have chosen to mix are compatible in the same enclosure.
