Gaine for cable from earth rod

[Alane]

Can anyone tell me whether, in order to pass Consuel, that the gaine for the earth cable from the Earth Rod into the house has to be in a red gaine or whether a standard ICTA gaine will suffice.

PS - I never got a definitive answer to the question on size of Gaine Rouge to the EDF connection for an 18kw supply (63 or 90mm)? So if anyone does know the answer I'd be grateful if you know.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Alcazar - in the end I got the Screwfix Earth housing and it has a standard international Earth sign on it so with any luck I won't need to get the paint out to label it "Terre".

Have you had the Prise de Terre's (earth spike) resistance checked and signed off. I'm asking this because the resistance has to be entered on the Consuel application form before they come and do a check. If you get a proper electrician to check the earth spike then he/she will tell you what colour the gaine should be.
