  • Your item 4. Why a C2 only for an "escape route"

    I was thinking of the BS 7671 idea of an escape route - i.e. anywhere people might have to move through when leaving during a fire (rather than only applying to a corridor with running-man symbols over it) - my thinking being that there are many areas where a cable fall from a ceiling would be less of an issue - e.g. it's within a cupboard or above built-in furniture or such that the cable would fall close and parallel to a wall that has no doorways - situations where it's unlikely to directly entangle anyone - for such cases a C3, or possibly even no code at all, feels more appropriate to me.
