I have!!!! Mandatory and advisory are not the same
thing.

....... 314.1 Every installation shall be divided into
circuits, as necessary, to: (i) avoid hazards and
minimize inconvenience in the event of a fault ...

That, I believe, to be the key point. If there is only
one RCD hazards will be created.

I don't believe there is much of a hazard with only one RCD
but there is an inconvenience.

Hooray!! You are getting it.

But it causes inconvenience. Reg 314.1 (i) applies

It does not. I have explained that in another post.

Would you not consider everthing tripping due to one fault an
inconvenience?

I would but we are talking law here. One RCD on a CU meets the 17th.
I prefer RCBOs on all circuits, butb that is just me wanting the
ultimate - not law.

Even where mains powered smoke alarms are fitted?
