It could well be "****" (whatever that is) - Regulation number I can't help you sorry - the specifics could be folklore.
However, I'm not sure how it works with plumbers, but electricians follow the red book BS7671 and in that it states that
Manufacturers instructions must be followed - by implication we could be liable if we don't and the customers guarantee could be worthless.
If plumbers do follow the MI then there are a number of boiler manufacturers like Glow-worm that have this requirement in their MI or will tell you on request

Some go further and insist that the filler loop must also be accessible without having to go in the loft.

that aint no combi matey!
Go one then, I give up, what has a combi got to do with this?
That'll be fun if you need to watch the pressure gauge on the boiler while filling....
I know I was trying to think how they would do that - cctv monitor link maybe 2 man relay team?
Which is why you would install a remote pressure gauge along with the filling loop.
Not me mate - I only deal with the electric part!! If I see copper pipe
I bond with itYou will have to tell me where I used the word combi?
Perhaps it is you who are digressing.
i think you need to look up the term 'system boiler'
sigh.... really?
Combination boilers
no storage tank, water and heating are heated directly from boiler via cold mains.
Sealed system boilers (unvented)
A system boiler (also known as a closed or sealed system boiler) works on the principle of stored hot water. This means that you will need an airing cupboard or other space for the hot water storage tank.
Open vent and open vent sealed system boilers
An open vent boiler is the existing system in most people’s homes. This type of system uses two water tanks, both located in the loft, and a hot water storage cylinder in the airing cupboard so it is very space hungry. One tank draws water from the mains supply and feeds the storage cylinder which, when heated by the boiler, can release hot water to taps all over the house.
....or perhapes you could explain.
