BS7671 A3/2015 July 1st deadline

[Jeggernaut]

Has anyone else noticed how little internet coverage there is for the compliance deadline of 1st July 2015 whereby all new overhead cabling in escape routes has to be fixed with metal clips? Whihc is strange because we deal a lot with councils and they have been stocking up for major changes for months from Fife right down to Penzance.

Also you say you would not want to risk your family in such a situation - as far as I am aware the majority of domestic houses have cables running through joists ect and are fixed to the wooden fabric of the building......Not sure how much good a fire resistant fixing would be when you are likely to be attaching it to wood.....As I say I am referring to domestic - I am aware that in commercial and larger buildings then yes we are likely to have concrete to fix to ect.

woods burns it doesn't melt like plastic so it wouldn't be a problem
