Fire rated clips - any suggestions?

An answer to Darkwood #69. the voids may need detection because they allow smoke to travel undetected especially if the void is sealed with an intumous sealant and has sealed or no access points, in this case, the smoke would remain trapped in the void and undetected until the heat/flames break through.

Richard Burns #70. I, as you would expect, would disagree completely
to me the regulations, past custom and practice all lead to fixing the cables correctly. I state this as my interpretation only and it is the guidance all of the electrical contractors I support are following.

In no way is this intended to bring the wrath of others onto my head from other forum members.
As stated earlier I am here to support, advise and give my professional support only.

It is certainly your choice to disagree with the regulations, especially as the specific permission is informative, and for you and others to follow alternative guidance that is in excess of the regulations.
There is almost no chance of this being considered in any way a failure.
However if you are to consider a risk assessment from a compliance point of view it could not be considered inappropriate to follow the information in BS7671 to the letter.

Bloody hell, is the plasterboard debate still rumbling on?

We will leave it here but plasterboard is NOT a means of supporting cables.
