Well it might do, but equally it might not. Either way the fixture itself wouldn’t be part of the “wiring system” specified in that regulation, would it? Especially considering the fact, as I mentioned previously, that it isn’t in an escape route.

Hi Brian, Thanks for your reply, I did note the above but as my question wasn’t regarding cabling systems or indeed anything in a fire escape route, it seems that cable ties may be appropriate if they can be shown to be strong enough. It is an interesting point though regarding cabling systems. In my previous life many of the UK theatres I visited had cables either PVC taped or cable tied to scaff bars fitted above the stage entrance doors, which are almost always fire exits, I guess metal hooks is the obvious choice to make things compliant but also quick to rig/derig.

Thanks all for the replies, I had a feeling it wouldn’t be quite as black and white as I thought!

Hi All, Can anyone point me in the direction of specific legislation or regulations covering temporary install of fixed equipment at events (not necessarily on stage). I’m concerned about some equipment being installed with cable ties on various events, but I’m struggling to find anything concrete to support my concerns. The equipment doesn’t move once installed so I don’t think it falls under LOLER, but it can be upto 3 KG (for example PTZ CCTV cameras) and usually at between 2-5m high. Thanks, Jack
