What you think ? The Original BS8436 Cable | Flexishield

i think that flex shield is still to be recognised by bs7671 as a cable type that doesnt need rcd protection , like pyro & swa , thus has limited use.
its biggest obstacle is its limited to 170A fault current , as stated in the advert.
If its BS8436 then it is recognised by BS7671 - see 522.6.5 (that was the BRB - green book is in the van!)
Obviously as its limited to 170A can only be used on circuits up to B rated 32A MCBs.
unfortunately alot of rcbos these days are in the type C flavour , even for domestic Cu's depending on the brand.
an unwarey installer may get caught out by its limitations so its use should be cautious if not using rcd protection , just a thought.
