What requirement would that be?A project for another day will be to add appropriate isolation switches before the thermostats as the installation pre-dates that requirement.

As you probably realise from my question, I'm unaware of any such regulation. In fact, as far as I am aware, there are extremely few (if any) requirements in the Wiring Regulations for anything to have a 'local' means of isolation in domestic premises.Maybe I’ve got that wrong, but I’m sure I read on here somewhere that there needed to be a means of providing local isolation (e.g. via an FCU) to a thermostat that could otherwise only be isolated at the consumer unit.
Fair enough - as you say, that doesn't sound unreasonable ('convenience'-wise).If there’s no requirement then I don’t see the need to do it and I’m all the happier for it. One less thing to do. ... My installation has three independent heating circuits covering the bedrooms, the hall & kitchen, and the lounge which in my mind offers enough discrimination and local(ish) isolation given the CU is just outside my front door in an adjacent utility cupboard.
As for whether there is a 'requirement', you'd better wait to make sure that no-one comes up with one - but I doubt that they will!
Kind Regards, John
Have you noticed the CU getting warmer? I was looking into RCBOs but one of the concerns I noted was that the parasitic current draw is much higher - up to 5W per RCBO.
Wtf
what brand is that which is 5w?
Is it AfDD which have computer inside ?
