"As we know to our cost, the alternatives offered are frequently not ‘equal’, but noticing, and then proving that, often seems too difficult for the client or their agent, so they are ‘approved’ by default. "

That sounds similar to the many times I've been asked to prove that something like firestopping is required.

The last occassion for this, in the last week, was a QS asking me to prove something (insulation that gives off toxic fumes in a fire) was prohibited by Regulations, and telling me that if we do decide to go for a non-toxic product as I'm recommending, then where do we stop?

With logic like that, no wonder problems happen.
