While this is convenient and obvious for a router table, routers that

Has anyone got a link to the official spec for this?

AFAIR, there's a "get out" clause on this which permits switch locks,
provided that they're not accessible when table mounted. The idea is
that a "locked on" router can be installed in the table (power off,
obviously), then controlled by an external switch on the table. The
idea of taking this router (and its evil locking switch) out and then
using it handheld (clearly a guaranteed cause of Instant Death) is a
matter for the user, not for the supply of equipment regs. It's the
same loophole that allows heavy dado sets to still be sold.
