Being a cynical I would want them to quote chapter and verse of bs and not just their interpretation .

Don’t think ive ever used 10mm or thicker boards on floors , always used 6mm hardie or the like, as that what the manufacturers have always said......... but ofcoarse most manufacturers are like politicians, can’t stick to anything and just wanna make as much money as possible by robbing us blind

I reckon all that they'll do Andy is quote the BS excerpt.
Common sense only really applies to us now. Businesses and industry are totally sales driven so it's no great surprise that industry "standards" are also sales driven and biased.

Use what you know works.

anyone do site work? I'm told no tanking and green star for 600x300 porcelain on walls.
BS doesn't apply to new houses it seems.

I do a little exclusive site in chatburn , no mention of tanking in any of the 3 bathrooms or matting on the heated screeds .
Next one is being sold for nearly 800 grand i think
