Ferrule crimps

Paul S

Is the use of ferrule crimps compulsory? Someone told me today that it has been a recent update in the regulations. I find this hard to believe. Thanks in advance!

    Note that there are special ferrules for allowing wires to share a terminal while the single wire ones can be persuaded, it is not good practice as the insulation may not seat in the cone properly.

    Occasionally, the force placed on the insulation when two insulated conductors are used in a sleeved ferrule intended for one conductor can damage strands on Class 5 and Class 6 stranded cables.
