Crimping 240V AC conductors

| Can anyone tell me if there are any circumstances when it is permissible
(under current regulations) to join 240V AC domestic wiring using crimps?
Additionally can anyone point me to the relevant regs that either allow or
forbid this method of cable joint, please?

It helps if you say which country (looks like UK).
Crimping is permitted. If a connection will become inaccessible,
it must be crimped, soldered, or brazed (BS7671 526-04-01),
and crimping is the technique normally used. Crimping is not
suitable where a connection might need to be disconnected during
maintenance and testing, unless it's something like a crimp-on
eyelet which can still be disconnected by unbolting.
