Can anybody tell me if there is a standard or regulation that states where
the use of Low Smoke Zero Halogen cable is mandatory or not in an install in
the UK.

Regards

Well, I heard that many times from a manufacturer that sells LSZH cables.
Don't know the name of the document, but I presume this would be a UK
analog of US National Electrical Code. In most cases cable manufacturers
will be able to help, call their local rep and say that you want to buy
their cables but don't know if you need LSZH or not. If they say "yes",
you'd ask if they can prove it (as to filter out excessive sales pitch -
LSZH is 30% more expensive than PVC)

Not sure if there is or isn't. However, I seem to remember someone telling
me that if the building is publicly accessible (e.g. a library) then it must
be cabled with LSZH cable.
