This precise question came up on the EAL course I attended a few
weeks back. The answer according to our instructor was:

New colour cables should be flagged in new colours;

Old colour cables should be flagged according to old colours, even
if the flagging is done post-harmonisation.

Jolly good. It is what made sense to me, and is what I do, but it did
occur to me that there might be alternative options.


Does not make total sense to me - because I have been using brown and
blue sleeving when making good cable in old colours :-((

Is this likely to be more a matter of good practice (attracting at most
a code 4) rather than a breach of a specific reg? I ask in part because
it seems to me a bit odd to expect everyone working in the field to
carry red sleeving for years to come - perhaps 30+ years.

I tell ya' Robin. If they make me carry any more bloody over sleeving, I
won't have any room in the box for tools. No joke. :-)

The new colour scheme is acceptable everywhere, without any comeback, as
long as it is correctly identifying what it should be, of course.
