I prefer adapter flex on conduit for large boilers looks better than flimsy SY, wouldnt loose sleep over it mind.
It states it is banned?
Think it says something like not recognised by British standards for use over here,but used a lot in Germany apparently.

So it isn't "banned" then - a departure at worst.
Personally I think it looks ruff. Each to their own though
Interestingly , Eland cables now has a BSI kitemark on it now and other flexible cables

Do they tell you how to ensure the braid can carry fault current.
It's not for carrying fault current it is to combat harmonics from VDSs etc
All the SY cables I see now have a "Not suitable for fixed wiring" in the spec. Like the Eland cable in the above post.

As soon as someone earths it there is a possibility it will carry fault current.
