Thanks Strima good to have it confirmed. Pretty much what NIC saidThere’s no requirement for fire ratings seals on the DB. As this is part of a complex the cable route into the fabric of the building may need fire stopping.
Its a crying shame, because this type of cable is near on extinct certainly on the domestic front.Even if you don't have the tools or skills, surely you can recognise an MICC cable??!!
We certainly made off Micc at college when i did part 1 c&g back in the late 90s.Reality is that it’s too costly and time consuming to use when price is a concern.
There isn’t really any reason to use it domestically either imo. Some other wiring type will usually be fine.
Is it even part of college training/am2 anymore? It was when I did my am2 back in 06.
I dont think it is, its not surprising that new sparks have never seen such type cable, clearly shown hear by this very thread.Reality is that it’s too costly and time consuming to use when price is a concern.

Yep done loads on pubs, fire alarms, church's, it was an every day task back then. Not being a big head but if I had £10 for every termination ive done with the stuff it would go into thousands. lolMICC was quite common during my apprenticeship years.
One particular job was a famous stationary shop in New Bond Street, opening up the basement to extend the shop. The whole installation was Pyro (as was best known). I quite enjoyed dressing and installing it. Some old Pubs were also a common place for this.
