That “wooden” work!!use wooden clips. they only fail when the wooden structure fails. sorted.
These guys might.........Are firefighters going to enter your shed when its on fire and get entangled? No. Just clip it.
Is there any requirement or logic to using fire-retardant cable cleats for SWA inside a wooden shed?
Yeah I can justify it it's absolutely pointlessThe regulations simply state that wiring systems shall be constructed to prevent premature collapse in the event of fire, there is no mention of type of installation....shed....domestic....commercial....industrial. Nor does it say common sense can be applied,it's a blanket requirement no matter how daft it might seem. Hence the disagrees to some of the above posts. If you ignore the requirement it's a departure, your call if you want to justify it on your EIC.
I agree it's pointless but nevertheless it's a regulation. I've done several jobs lately in situations where it seems crazy, but TBH it only adds a few minutes to screw a bit of strap in a couple of places to meet the requirement.Yeah I can justify it it's absolutely pointless
I agree it's pointless but nevertheless it's a regulation. But it only takes a minute or two to screw a bit of strap on here and there to meet the requirementYeah I can justify it it's absolutely pointless
