Hi chaps. I have a bit of a technical problem.
I'm currently doing a job of wiring two new shops, both approximately 20m x 6m floor space. We have started to wire the shops in standard PVC cables (twin and earth and standard SWA)
The customer has been told by another contractor that the wiring must be LSF insulated.
The customer is now questioning our work and wants some reassurance that what we have done is compliant with regulations.
I have tried to consult all the reference material I have and can not find a definitive answer either way as to wether it is required. I have spoken to elecsa technical and also local building control who are both happy with standard PVC but they don't seem to want to commit to this in writing.
Could you point me in the direction of something which could say either way?
Any help would be much appreciated.
