Identifying cables and wires

Hello Bernard,

The regs state 'so long as it is clearly identifiable for testing, inspection, repair or alteration, and its durable.' Which these 'idents' are in my opinion, I am not sure about what 'complying' with BS3858 involves though to be honest.

I have used these in panel wiring and on non domestic jobs in the past, I started to use them in domestic consumer units, as 'number roll's' in my opinion are useless, and these are pretty cheap and if using a crimp lug too, there is no chance of them slipping off.
 
I have a heatshrink printer.

Ooh get you :lol:

You've forgotten the sticker with "RF" all over it!!

Where is there Radio Frequency energy in a consumer unit ?

But thanks for clarifying that cable identity markers can be used in domestic work.

Now I can tell someone he is wrong and show him as well.

I use them on CU changes and rewires on domestic and singles in industrial
 
It helps me to identify each circuit - I put them on after I've tested each cct - note the number on cct schedule and makes reconnecting to new CU much easier.

When I was doing installation work at BT exchanges it was a requirement to code each wire to identify which DB it was fed from.
