BS 8436 Cable

Hi all I am new to the Forum.

I have a question regarding BS 8436 Compliant Cables. I am aware iof the requirement to protect circuits wired in BS 8436 Cables with "B" Type devices etc due to the requirement to limit fault current in the event of the cable being penetrated by a nail or a screw. However, what if you install the cable clipped direct to the surface and on Cable Tray or basket where the risk of accidental penetration is very low, would it them be acceptable to protect the circuit with "C" Type devices?

I have hunted high and low on the internet for an solution but have failed to find a definitive answer.

I am looking to use it as an alternative to SWA cable base on ease of installation and coat in commercial installations.

Hi Keith have you considered A Hituff style cable?

Any colour of sheath you like, so long as it’s black?
