1.5mm t&e in the stairway (communal hazard)

[Stevetheaviato]

Hello ladies and gents ,

Simple question , where in the regs book would It discuss or what does it say about clipping direct 1.5mm t&e in the stairway.

I have come across a job where they have ran t&e up the diagonal staircase to run a permanent feed for lights..... easily reachable and could be damaged from external influences... tenants etc...

But is this breaking any rules ??

Thank u

Not quite , more of a note or a variation on someone else's work...

In the cable is sheathed , that's why I wasn't sure.. couldn't quite see the exact quote.

Wouldn't this be the same for 24v cable then ?

Cheers buddy

A stairway is likely to be an escape route so fire cable-collapse rules should apply. I don't know off-hand but in some cases it would have to be LSZH as well.
