[QUOTE="Rob., post: 480105, member: 27131"] SY cable is built to the German VDE standard, which isn't recognised elsewhere in Europe, so it can't be part of 7671. The braiding can only be classed as a screen as because it can't be proved to handle fault current. So it does not comply using it as mechanical protection. Of course it does offer it some physical protection, just not in the eyes of the regs. Also the outer sheath reacts quite badly to UV light, an doesn't take long before becoming opaque, brittle and then falling off if left in the sun. Then water gets in an corrodes the braiding.
