The cable tray support needs to be listed separately

In the 2020 NEC ®, cable ties used to support cables in a cable tray shall be listed, identified for the application and for securement and support. This aligns with similar language in other Chapter 3 articles such as 311, 320, 337, 330, 334, 348, and 393. Not all cable ties are created equal. Some have only been evaluated to secure or position a cable. Various galvanisation surfaces can be applied to improve corrosion. Answer: The 1996 NEC in sections 318-6 (i) and (j) indicates that there shall be sufficient space maintained around cable trays to allow adequate access for installing and maintaining the cables and that cable trays shall be exposed and accessible. 1 Codes and Standards The design of cable trays and their supports conform to.
