Cables in zones

[davemorris]

If you run cables in a partition wall, do the cables have to run in zones?

If you run cables outside the zone they have to be mechanically protected (steel conduit or a cable that incorperates a protective earthed armouring to required standards) as these are rarely used in domestic then stick to the zones only and dont forget mains wiring in a partition will require rcd protection as its likely to be less than 50mm from the surface.
