No. I’m in the UK as well.
You are in Londonderry (called Derry by the foreigners down south). Londonderry is part of the UK. Once Brexit is sorted you may no longer be able to visit or work down south without a visa.

OK I accept that, but never the less you living in the UK.
"We publish technical handbooks which explain how to achieve the requirements set out in the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004"
Seems pretty clear to me.
Seems pretty clear to me.
Maybe, but could it not be the same as in England and Wales - i.e. where the Secretary of State publishes documents ("Approved Documents", such as Approved Document P) "which explain one way how to achieve the requirements set out in The Building Regulations 2010" - without in any way being 'mandatory' (or necessarily representing the only way of satisfying the requirements of the legislation)?
Kind Regards, John
Whilst there is no issue with you declaring yourself to be Irish, there is an issue with you constantly declaring that you don't live in the UK. The county of Derry is one of the 6 counties which form part of the UK and Northern Ireland. In the case of this thread, nobody in Derry has to have local isolation as that is not a requirement in BS7671.
Good to see you - Happy New Year!
Since this discussion is essentially about some people's view of pedanticism, I presume that you mean 'Great Britain', rather than 'UK' (since what we are talking about is the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland")?
Kind Regards, John

I seem to remember in Ulster they use a different voltage? 10,000 volt instead of 11,000 volt, so there may be other items which differ. However although all the countries or principalities which form the UK have slightly different laws, I am aware of no law change since the fire.
happy New Year. I was more focused on the fact that Derry is covered by BS7671. Yes it is GB.
Derry is not GB. "GB" - aka Britain - is an island. As John correctly points out the terms "GB" and the so-called "UK" are most certainly not synonymous.
Quite - but Derry is very much in the UK (aka "GB and NI"), hence, as scousespark has said, subject to the requirements of BS 7671, rather than any 'foreign' (non-UK) regulations/Standards.
That all very much depends on one's perspective. Some might suggest that the "UK" is entirely a mythical construct. The overwhelming majority of the population of Derry would not consider themselves to be part of the "UK".
