The overwhelmingly likely option to be chosen to ensure compliance with P1 does require testing.

Stop talking nonsense like that holmslaw.
1) Manufacturer's instructions CANNOT be followed if following them leads to a contravention of other regulations.
2) BS 7671 does not say that ONLY what the instructions direct is what must be done. Not saying that testing should be carried out does not mean that testing is forbidden, and only a complete idiot or a dangerous w*nker with an ulterior motive would try to make out that it did.
Boz1969 - ignore holmslaw, he delights in inventing bizarre interpretations of the regulations in order to discredit them. Whoever installed that switch should have tested it.

A relation of yours, perhaps your papa, asked the same question on this website - might be worth discussing it with him.

Then why insist that people have to follow that one and ignore the thousands of others.
They also have lots of other "musts".
If there's a conflict, what is your motive in trying to tell people that they must comply with 134.1.1 and must not comply with the rest of the regulations?
They most clearly do not.
It clearly says "Electrical equipment shall be installed in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the equipment."
It clearly does not say "When installing electrical equipment only the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the equipment shall be followed and no other regulations may be complied with."
The regulations do not say, or even imply, that if the MI's instructions do not say to carry out tests that testing is forbidden.
No you are not - you are being either an idiot or a dangerous w*nker with an ulterior motive.
As I've said before - you are determined to discredit the entire Wiring Regulations.
Where are the words that add to that statement a prohibition on also complying with regulations which apply to the installation of the equipment which the instructions provided by the manufacturer do not forbid?
Try reading Part 6.
It's all sorted now peoples, school boy error on my part, the neutral link in the RCD not making a good connection. Thanks for all you help.
Not to mention no sleeving and the general nastiness of the 'installation'. Lots of pre-school errors there.
Do you have access to information which we don't?
No, I do however read the thread instead of just arguing with holmslaw.
I have read it.
Where does it say that there is no sleeving?
Where is there evidence of "general nastiness"?
Have you not noticed the link to the other forum?
Here you are BAS have a click here....

Yes.
What is on other fora is outwith the scope of this one - comments and observations etc should be restricted to what is written here, not anywhere else.
