doesn't have to be T&E, you can use any suitable AC rated cable. he's talking nonsense!On his argument what would you use for a shower, after all, someone might tap into it to use for a cooker! we use flex and twin and earth depending on which would be most suitable. We use standard white flex, but in 4mm or arctic cable in blue. when we use T&E it is always 4mm or 6mm.

I think you are being over-prescriptive moggy.
For example Batt solar cables have an ac voltage rating
FG21M21 PV20 (1500 V cc) Extended Lifetime Single
as long as it's tested, rated and approved ok, I did say as far as I am aware!
If it can be used then it avoids the problem of inserting cable into the meter without leaving inner insulation showing I suppose! we usually use something like a gewis box or the isolator to tidy things up.
