That's a 'should' not an 'is'.

Why is it even 'should'? I would have said "is often on the left".
I can't think where I found out that it was a 'should' rather than an
'is', but I beleive it to be so, but welcome to be corrected.

Note that a thermostatic bath/shower mixer unit will _require_ the
supply pipes are arranged according to the norm.
