Just to keep empip happy:

It can crush the cable, and BS951 clamps are not designed for use on cables. (They do not always provide the most reliable connection)
So why did the DNOs use BS951 Clamps for main earth terminals
Becasue they were very naughty, but they have now learned the error of their ways

I removed the warning label as it is not required by BS7671

I thought it was required, for my benefit, can you elaborate ?
On the subject of labels, I also thought the label "Danger 240V" is not required by BS7671, but you have not removed this from one CU (or have stuck it on one of them)
Next Inspection label and Circuit schedule ?

The suppliers cable and therefore the suppliers MET is governed by the ESQCR regs, not BS7671.
Correct, but I like to put one on anyway.
It is affixed to the inside of the CU lid along with the 'test RCD quarterly' and 'how to reset a device' stickers.
The photo was taken upon completion of the installation work. I type up the schedules and test certificates on the computer once the installation work is finished.
A printed out, laminated schedule is much neater and more durable, and also has company details on it

Not so.
514-13-01 " A permenent label to BS951 with the words "Safety Electrical Connection - Do Not Remove" shall be permanently fixed in a visible position at or near:
(i) the point of connection of every earthing conductor to an earth electrode"
The nice new 16mm EC you have connected to the MET definately applies to the above regulation.
Being inside in my opinion does not comply as that is not a "prominent" position. Better to have it on the outside where the customer may actually notice it from time to time.
and Circuit schedule ?

Maybe so, but as the work was completed the absence of the above was a departure from BS7671.
