    Yes Andy I was thinking of 434.2.1 (i) and (ii).


    (i) The 1.0mm2 not exceeding 3m in length.


    (ii) "Be installed in such a manner as to reduce the risk of fault to a minimum." The cable is inaccessible as it runs under a tank stand and out of reach or risk of being stood on or mechanically damaged. 


    (iii) Just what requirement is meant here? Run in metal containment perhaps?
