Firstly, Hi, first time poster here.
Looking for an expert in 17th regs to point out exactly where it is written that T&E cannot be used outside.
My research has unearthed the following:
T&E specs: Basec 6242Y approval (what does that mean?)
BS 6004 (BS7671 Page 266, defines this as: 'cables for electric power, lighting and internal wiring') ie does'nt preclude its use outside.
BS 7671 page 328 external influences solar radiation codes AN1,AN2,AN3
BS 7671 page 90 512.2.4 note 1: classes of external influence regarded as normal are xx1, so AN1 is to be considered normal, therefore according to note b (bottom of page 328) 'ordinary equipment will operate safely under described external influences'.
So, as far as I can see T&E can be used outside,with no extra protection for sunlight, and should not cause any concerns when conducting pir's etc.
I know this has been 'dealt with' many times before, but I have yet to see a definitive statement which says we cannot use T&E outside.
Quite the contrary, BS7671 appears to allow it.
