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.

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.
