[QUOTE="Risteard, post: 438333, member: 2666"] NIHE allow T&E so no problem with a reduced cpc. However they would still expect twin brown to be used for a switchdrop rather than remarking brown & blue (as would everyone here to be honest). Also, they would expect 1.5mm^2 to be used for lighting. 1mm^2 isn't used here (and in fact is prohibited in the south for non-flexible cables). Just to add, it is permissible now to remark green/yellow in a multicore cable for another purpose (athough many would consider it poor practice). I believe it may have been prohibited in earlier Editions of the Regulations. Obviously a cpc must still be terminated at each point in the wiring. [/QUOTE]
