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.
