[QUOTE="Rob_the_rich, post: 385990, member: 8419"] I was at an amd 3 megger roadshow this evening with a talk by NAPIT tech bod and this point came up. He said draping cables across suspended ceilings is already a no no under current regs, if a fire was to occur the ceiling tiles and their support would soon fail . Amd 3 adds that if the ceiling is above an escape route (which most areas are) then the metallic fixings would need to be put in. He mentioned that even with metallic conduits with push-fit faceplates, the faceplate could pop off under heating (buckling) and cables could fall out, so would need eg metallic strapping put on at intervals around the conduit.
