Is it ok to use red and black Twin and Earth if brown and blue sleeving is used at termination points ? This is a first post for me so be gentle chaps.

I apologise. No offence meant.
Having retired from the electrical fraternity many years ago I now find I have a question and was pointed in the direction of the forum for speedy answers, I will assume from your reply that you don't know or are just not the helpful kind. So much for my first post.You should apply too join the diy section of the forum

Fair enough, no harm done. It is in his profile and not on his post. Maybe an old reel of cable he has knocking around.
Thanks for the team work GMES.
As you have said I tried to put all the worries of the world of work behind me and any mention of reg's etc upset the somewhat easy life I was trying to find but I have been put in a situation where there is a quantity of 1.0 mm T & E available to use and I am not wanting to trawl through loads of info' when I have been shown this forum especially when I've a life to lead

I would ask why are you installing old colours???
And stick one of these to the DB if you do end up with old and new colours in the installation.
Why? Do they not teach you to use your head any more at college?
Any spark should be aware of cable colours without a sticker telling them that there maybe a difference in them on a install
Good practice?

what making a DB look like a Panini sticker album?
True but it's a reg 514.14
If you know that from the top of your head there is something wrong with you? Lol!

We also should know that there is 230 volts at a single phase distribution board. Still has a warning label on it though.
We we live in a world where we need to install 'mind your head' signs on low ceilings so in perspective the harmonisation label seems obvious.
Well thats it then, we must abide by every word the regs say. I had better go and get me some stickers and go and fit them on all the jobs I have done where there has been a cross over in colours because someting bad may happen.
Unfortunately if you believe all this "we need telling everything" attitude to society then there is something very long with life it self.
