This is because the turning of the screw can rip the strands off.

Looks like I'll have to redo all those pendant sets I've installed!

Should we consider heat shrink and self amalgamating tape as site applied insulation and test as such.

Markie, point 3 covers it surely?

526.5 (iii) an enclosure can be PARTIALLY formed or COMPLETED with non-combustible building material tested to BS 476-4, the enclosure CANNOT therefore be made totally from building material. The most common infringement of this is a crimped termination, covered with supplementary insulation (eg. heat-shrink sleeve) and buried directly in the wall with building material (eg. plaster).
