my regs are in van too but i was always under impression walls and ceilings were included in the <50mm rule. Cables in notchs on the joists would need to be RCD protected, but that would also mean all cables simply laying above a ceiling, or not through holes in the joists and strung tight like a bow would need to be protected too?
If you are not allowed to install cables in a floor what does 522.6.4 and 522.6.5 apply to? Seems pointless having a reg thats not allowed. BTW, what reg prohibits cables being buried in the floor? 522.6.5 seems to me to give the conditions under which cables are permitted to be buried within the structure of a floor.
So then Ian, what protection do we give cables that are out of the safe zones??
Personally I'd say 522.6.4 is the more appropriate reg, or could we apply 522.8.10??

Not sure how else to say this but THERE ARE NO SAFE ZONES ON FLOORS!!!!So then Ian, what protection do we give cables that are out of the safe zones??Personally I'd say 522.6.4 is the more appropriate reg, or could we apply 522.8.10??
Noz never mentioned floors. You are only reading what you want.
How do you get cables to a garage or garden shed? Or what about lights,? The ceiling of 1 room is the floor of another, and that could be a flat above, probably concrete units too!

He did mention floors when quoting floor regs. O would suggest you go read the regs steptoe as you seem to have forgotten them.

well at least now you are realising there are regs that cover cables in floors,
go and read them,
sidewinder,noz and myself, among others, have told you where to find them, 522.6.4 & 522.6.5 and others all concern cables in floors.
Nah mate, packed that rubbish up years ago, Im just naturally a bit of a twot :^O
IAN,,
I think we understand that only walls have safe zones,, ceiling voids and floors don't!
Ceiling and floor voids have their own rules!
Now solid floors dont have any zones so we have to look at other regs to understand any protection that they need..
Don't get fixated on the fact that I and maybe others are saying that they are out of zones,,, they are because the floor doesnt have any!
