I don't know when this zoning arrangement was introduced but when it was what happened to existing installations .?? Did it only affect new installations or amendments to existing ones .??
Also the height above the floor "rules" . Presumably that means that it applies if "any" part of the fitting intrudes in to that area .??

Nothing.
Yes.
The height requirements, while mentioned in the on site guide are not IIRC specifically included in BS7671, but they are in part M of the building regs. With regard to the building regs I think you can carry out changes to the building if on the whole you make it no worse than it was.
Switches, yes, but light fittings are covered by BS7671. I took that as what the OP meant.
It WAS actually light fittings I was thinking about ..

IIRC it was amendments dated 2000. However, such things tend to be introduced a little while after the new amendment is published and there is then dual running over a period of a year or so. I can't be bothered to go into another room and look this up, if anyone does want to get the dates then they are presumably on the IEE web site.
