How did substandard cable get sold in the UK in the first place?

Quite. It's not the sort of thing you'd buy in a Sunday market or corner
shop. I'd hope any of the usual suppliers - a wholesaler or shed - would
only buy from a reputable source.

Aren't there regulations to ensure a suitable standard? Maybe
there's no enforcement but surely a lab or agency would have checked
the cable and issued a pass certificate.

Grenfell Tower.
