You are entitled to use UK wiring practice when

Can the local electricity provider refuse to supply, if the wiring
does not meet national specifications?


They are not interested.

I recently had a 30A mono-phase supply installed in a French property
and took a 12-way slit-load CU from Screwfix as I thought the installers
would only connect their supply tails to a CE-approved CU

They said they didn't care what I put on the end of their cable and that
they would leave it with a "termination" connected.

And what was the "termination"?

2 ways of a 30A "chocolate block" connector!
