Does regulation 521.10.202 apply to all electrical services cabling i.e. data and security cabling?

David Cieszynski

As stated above does the requirement cover all electrical services, it used to be in Part B but it's since been removed. And we have client direct data contractor installing their cabling on cable baskets facing downwards with PVC tie-wraps.

    That will be
    BS 9991:2024 Fire safety in the design, management and use of residential buildings.

    In a commercial building, the companion standard  is probably

    BS 9999:2017: Code of practice for fire safety in the design, management and use of buildings.

    I don't have a current copy to hand here, but I'd be most surprised if it was not very similar.

    Data cables incuding fibre oprtic cables, are covered by BS 7671 see 110.1.2 (vi). It does not surprise me that data installers are unaware of the need to comply with BS 7671 from the installations I commonly see escecialy in respect of the need to support cables just like any other cable. As for this particular case the cables should be prevented from premature collapse with metalic cable ties not nylon ties.
