AMD2 - Clause 422.2 - Cables in protected escape routes.

From what I recall from the webinar a protected escape route is a very particular kind of escape route - designated by whoever is in charge of the fire design - and is likely to be places like sterile fire stairwells where's there's nothing but steel and bare concrete - rather than an ordinary corridor that happens to need 60/90/120-minute rated walls or whatever

What I didn't quite follow is what you're supposed to do where there isn't a modern fire precautions design (say rewiring an existing building) which might have something fairly similar but was never formally described in those terms and you've no-one to ask.

The provided definition of "protected escape route" in Amd.2 is woefully sparse if that is the case.

The FRA should be revised annually so we can only hope that this is done properly when going into existing buildings.  If not within the FRA we should ask the question and have a paper trail back up that we tried if we do not get a response back.
