Plastic cable clips!

Are they completely banned now? What about vertical switch and socket drops which will be plasterboarded over? Would this situation be exempt?

    No and yes.


    This topic came up during my annual assessment last week. We were agreed that cables clipped direct at waist height (e.g. in a workshop) are unlikely to present a hazard in the event of fire.


    What isn't defined is "premature". (Ask your wife/girlfriend! ? )



    If the wall was 30 minutes fire rated, I would suggest the cable fixings collapsing less than 30 minutes would be classed as "premature"
