If this is for your extractor fan as discussed in a previous post then you will need to follow the manufacturers instructions.

Most likely you will need a three pole isolator like this..

and a 3Amp Fused connection unit like this:

You can also get three pole isolators as pull switches.

Fan need to be on 3amp fuse, plus isolation switch would save having white switch plates all over

or a bathroom fan with a built in fuse

Since they don't make what you want you will have to following the wiring diagram in the manufacturers instructions - which may include the need for RCD protection.

Don't forget you Part P obligations if required - as mentioned in previous post.
 
Just read some manufacturers info from Greenbrook electrical. They say for their fans you need a "double-pole switched fused connection unit with 3amp fuse." Beware, other manufacturers may offer different advice.
 
As I see it, they can't manufacture a fused 3 pole fan switch as both the permanent live and the switched live need to be protected, and you could only have the one fuse fitted - because if there were two fuses only one would probably blow.
