Which is not the same as [etc]
If you read you copy of the regulations carefully you will see that BS 7671 does not need to define every single piece of electrical hardware in Part 2 because Regulation 511.1 requires that every item of equipment selected and erected must comply with the appropriate British or Harmonized Standard.

- When a manufacturer builds a batten fitting, they cannot test and CE/UKCA mark it against a lampholder standard. They must certify it to BS EN 60598 (Luminaires).

- When a manufacturer builds a pendant socket, they certify it to BS EN 60238 or BS EN 61184 (Lampholders).

- Because the hardware itself is legally defined and certified by its product standard (listed in Appendix 1 of BS 7671), an installer cannot reclassify a certified luminaire as a "lampholder" simply because BS 7671 Part 2 doesn't list the word.
