Has anyone considered ...
... even if plastic cable clips/wall plugs/whatever are considered inadequate to satisfy the requirement to prevent cables 'falling down' in the event of a fire, I would imagine that the requirement could usually still be satisfied by using such things for the majority of the cable fixings, supplemented by just a few 'acceptable' (and probably more expensive) ones used in a few strategically chosen places.
Also, given the way they seem to think, I'm a little surprised that this reg appears to relate only to cable fixings. I'm sure that there are many DBs/CUs and other quite heavy bits of switchgear and electrical appliances which are 'held up' by the use of plastic wall plugs - not to mention lots of heavy non-electrical stuff which, although it poses no hazard of electric shock could do a person harm if it fell on them!
Kind Regards, John
