Yes, but the main point of that regulation is the 'undersized' conductors.Nope - but those obsessed with "what it actually says" might point out that it says nothing about being "a special dispensation" (although we 'all' know that it is) - since it merely says that BS1363 accessories may be supplied through a ring circuit protected by a 30/32A OPD
no, but it has a 15A OPD. That was the original query.It obviously would not be compliant as a radial if it were wired in 2.5mm² cable with a 30/32A OPD - but, as you say, when the far end is connected back to the OPD, it becomes compliant by virtue of the "special dispensation"..
There is no need to tell the OP that it would be dangerous/non-compliant if it had this or that; it doesn't.
Not sure "get technical" is the right phrase.If one wanted to get technical, I suppose one could observe that if all the socket outlets were sufficiently near the middle of the ring, it would be possible to show that, say, a 2.5mm²/32A ring would be compliant with 433.1 even without that "special dispensation".
