Hopefully an easy one for the lecky chaps.... Is a plastic DB at high level in a hallway, i.e means of egress, a C3?
It's a houseIt would depend on the building use I would guess
There's nothing in the regs, as far as I know, to prevent a DB being installed in an escape route in a house.
only if the cable clips were plastic or in mini trunking or plastic conduit and across the ceiling as long as they have metal cleats and clips its https://www.walraven.com/en/about-walraven/news/18th-edition/Fire if clipped wires could impede escape.
But I can't think of anything

by people who know no better and go ott just in case and dont know the regsI've seen plenty bad executions of this now.
Seen people metal clipping on timber joists which will be behind plaster
Then miss all the really important partsby people who know no better and go ott just in case and dont know the regs
A lot of people are generating work by coding C2 for plastic DBs.
hardly .its a recommendation only and i would challenge it .must be making it up as they go alongI thought a C3 that wasn't rectified became a C2, or is that just an over zealous local authority rule?
