I see what you mean. I guess its an aircraft certification definition that's required. A&C at the CAA may be able to help, as they will have approved the flight manual for UK approval.

Typically, for a non-aerobatic aeroplane, it excludes all the aforementioned maneuvers, except maybe spins. It sometimes specifically includes lazy-eights and chandelles to comply with US training requirements.

Where a lazy-8 becomes a wifferdill or wing-over is another matter!
