26.1.2 Wherewiring istobecarriedout along thefaceof therolledsteeljoints,awoodenbattenof
adequate width shall first be laid on the same and dipped to it as inconspicuously as
possible. The wiring should then be fixed to this backing in the ordinary way. Where wiring
passes through structural steel work, the hole shall be suitably bushed to prevent the
abrasion of the cables.
26.1.3 Attachment to false ceiling : In no case, the open wiring shall be run above the false

26.8.0Strippingofoutercovering-Whilecuttingandstrippingoftheoutercoveringofthe cable care shall
be taken that the sharp edge of the cutting instrument does not touch the inner insulation
of the conductors. The protective outer covering of the cables shall be stripped off near
connecting terminal and this protective covering shall be maintained upto the close
proximity of connecting terminals as far as practicable. Care shall be taken to avoid
hammering on link clips with any metal instrument efter the cables are laid. Where junction
