[QUOTE="UNG, post: 498423, member: 8931"] ISTR the reason Wrexham MI wasn't Ex approved was it due to it not being a solid drawn cable. You generally could tell Wrexham mineral from other types when you stripped it especially if the seam weld had not been properly annealed. The AEI MI could be identified by the insulation which was silicon based to alleviate the damp problems I remember ordering BICC Pyrotenax and the wholesaler trying to substitute it with Wrexham mineral absolute pain when the job was specced as Pyrotenax It looks like there are still a number of companies manufacturing MICC when BICC sold off it's cable divisions I think TYCO bought the Pyrotenax brand although that now appears to be part of nVent's portfolio of products, along with Wrexham there is also AEI and MICC Ltd, apart from Wrexham they are all based up in the North East Looks like it's management is former BICC employees [/QUOTE]
