Irish and British Standards

Former Community Member
Former Community Member

Hi, I'm looking for advise on whether the Irish Stds. are relevant in England. There is a cable on market that is BASEC approved to both IS 273 and BS 8436 however the same cable has different withstand fault currents on the cable screen. In the IS 273 it is 200A and in BS 8436 it is 160A. Would you expect the Irish Std. to supersede the British Std?

    Hi Dave,

    A standard (whether BS or Irish) is only (legally) applicable if called up in a contract specification or in legislation. You will therefore need to find out what is specified for the particular case in question.
