[QUOTE="binky, post: 510200, member: 490"] there are so many discussions when regs change and little concensus / precise guidance given afterwards, so it's easy to miss many subtleties. Now, I've dug the regs book out and see what you mean about 'shall' and the changes to the section headings. However, that leaves a nice can of worms of what is the definition of 'premature collapse' ? It is considered good practice to install cable clips with the nail below the cable - so is the nail good enough to support a cable in a fire? PVC trunking and conduit is fire retardent as I understand it, so would they support a cable long enough to prevent 'premature collapse' if not installed in an egress route as per Note1? [/QUOTE]
