funny world same product going on the same substrate yet fixed different UK standards have a long way to go

This metal stud walls have sole plate/ceiling plate and then vertical studs at 900mm centres.. no intermittent noggings.. so how can one fix other than to the studs..?

The walls are really springy and over boarding is sometimes the only way to make them rigid.. but again not always possible... maybe on a private domestic job the boarding can be removed and the walls structure strengthened but on a site like the OP has, he just has to tile it..

it isn't a case of standards have a long way to go, it is the building practices that need to be when fully tiling is to be installed and these are again different world wide..

Was meaning that the screws should be in the tiled areas at max 200 centers up the studs (metal or timber) not like norm one at the top one at the bottom and maybe one in the center.900 centers is stupid

Sure is, proper springy walls.

On the 50mm metal stud work it should be 600mm centres...
