It doesn't have to be FP200 I could use MICC if need be and rcd protection I would be avoiding for such a circuit conditions permitting.

I have taken this up with the people who make FP200 and it is rated for 230v AC apparently. I have seen a C2 for non fire rated cable supplying fire alarm panels. A new one for Codebreakers I'd imagine.
I don’t know where the idea it isn’t 230v rated comes from. I’ve connected so many like this, usually in trunking or clipped direct to avoid need for RCD.
(A shared RCD is the thing to avoid at all costs)
I’ve got a MICC job next week and it’s sad that I’m really looking forward to it!

That brings back some memories, this was one of the practical assessments we had to do at college, using the MICC through jointing kit.
