521.10.202 Wiring systems shall be supported such that they will not be liable to premature collapse in the event
of a fire.
NOTE 1: Wiring systems hanging across access or egress routes may hinder evacuation and firefighting activities.
NOTE 2: Cables installed in or on steel cable containment systems are deemed to meet the requirements of this regulation.
NOTE 3: This regulation precludes, for example, the use of non-metallic cable clips or cable ties as the sole means of support
where cables are clipped direct to exposed surfaces or suspended under cable tray, and the use of non-metallic cable
trunking as the sole means of support of the cables therein.
NOTE 4: Suitably spaced steel or copper clips, saddles or ties are examples that will meet the requirements of this regulation.

Which is exactly what I’ve told him. He states that “suitably spaced” means with gaps as per regs and mustn’t be plastic.

I know I’m right, but it is difficult to argue with someone that has a little knowledge and won’t listen
 
Well If he insisted that was the case, I would get from him in writing his insistence at alteration of an installation. Also his reasoning and suggest the installation must be certified by him as he is materially altering a circuit??? Ok maybe not but I would get him to sign and state reasons for altering the installation.
