I can upload deta pendant if you like?
But I assure you the flex don't come crimped
@westward10
If you look at any BS standard goods that come with a terminated flex you should find it has been suitably crimped or has had special terminals fitted be it a drop, a plug top or the internal wiring of a product, you will not see them connected bare anymore into a standard screw terminal, the regulations are across the board, it is now our industry that is lacking in applying this standard and not the manufacturers as used to be 15yrs ago.
Whilst I am not disagreeing the Regulation does not state they should be suitably crimped but "suitable terminals shall be used or the conductor ends shall be suitably treated", whatever that implies. Whether this applies to a plug top or fixed wiring, the latter I suspect.@westward10
Wilko has already pointed to the regulation which does express all fine-wire should be suitably crimped, I haven't the regs to hand but I am going by memory and previous discussion on this matter, the exception is if the connection device is designed to take fine-wire without it been dressed, plug tops are not designed to accept fine-wire undressed so the regulation applies that they would indeed need a uninsulated ferrule crimp.... insulated tend to have issues fitting in the plug top.

Back on site tomorrow so I will doPlease do, is this a new pendant that hasn't been shortened or doesn't have specific terminations designed for fine-wire, if it is new and does not dress the fine-wire then it is probably in breach of their own BS regulations for such products... I am interested to see your upload as the last Deta I did was dressed cable ends but as they are uninsulated crimps you sometimes need to take them out to see the crimp.
