No in England the IEE regulations are just that "Guidance"
Where as for people like me living in Scotland the IEE regulations are the law so are "mandatory". Causes a lot of confussion. Th law is like that in other aspect over here.
Remember the Lockerbay bomer tried under Scottish law, we have three posible verdicts. Guilty, not guilty, & not proven. English law only reconises the first two.
