White PVC twin and earth

[m4fiaafg]

Hello can anyone tell me whether white PVC twin and earth is still allowed to be used. I knw it was made obsolete in 2008 but was just unsure if it is acceptable to use and also to get the job certified. Cheers in advance

Why would you install a new job with min 5 year old cable?

The LSZH cable we use has a white sheath

I thought white meant low smoke? Has this changed?
I have seen lots of white T&E used on old DIY jobs, but I doubt that was LS

Better tell Screwfix it's been banned;

I miss the white

It was used on a rewire, not my own, it is not LS just electric ie basic sockets and lights

The insulation should be brown (line) and blue (neutral).
The colour of the sheath doesn't make a blind bit of difference, although manufacturers tend to use a white sheath to denote LS0H, and a grey sheath for PVC.

and it's a tw*t to strip.

For as far back as i can remember T&E came in white or grey, and as far as i remember there wasn't a blind bit of difference!!

The colour of the sheath is irrelevant. If the conductors are red and black and it was installed recently then I'd say they should probably be sleeved blue and brown in order to conform.

depends how recent....if before harmonisation then a 2 different versions sticker at origin will do...
