Is there actually stuff in BS7671 about caravan wiring?
From 17th ed (as I don't have 18th ed)
721.421.2
The wiring systems shall be installed using one or more of the following:
(i) Insulated single-core cables, with flexible class 5 conductors, in
non-metallic conduit.
(ii) Insulated single-core cables, with stranded class 2 conductors
(minimum of 7 strands), in non-metallic conduit.
(iii) Sheathed flexible cables.
Thanks, it's good to see the actual requirements. I've used sheathed
flexible in our boat (mostly the same rules as caravans etc. for such
a similar environment).
I assume the flex/multistrand requirement is to cope with more
movement and vibration.
