Default "Non-Association" Cable

Anybody shed any light on what "Non-association" might mean?

Interesting snippet at
http://www.stbryde.co.uk/right%20angle/news_2004.htm

As the building neared completion relations between the Lodge and Architect became strained. The building had been wired in non-association cable instead of association cable as specified. The mistake was made by the foreman and a rebate of £2 17/- was offered or the job rewired to comply with the main cable run by the Clyde Valley Power Company.

The decision was that the Hall would be rewired. Remarkable, even more so, when you consider that this took place two weeks before the consecration ceremony on 9th. September 1924


So it looks as though it was some sort of cable standard, whose
use was at the discretion of the specifier.
