I'm not insisting, BS7671 is insisting. As we're all meant to be
working to that standard what are you getting at me for?
A fan is a fixed appliance, a fixed appliance needs an isolator. How
clearer do you want it?


One question though - how come a lightbulb isn't a fixed appliance ?


Because it is simple to un-plug it from its holder.

Whereupon it's easy to touch neutral for an ES holder. So why aren't light
switches double pole ?
