if fit a plastic cu, need to box it in with plaster board ect?

if i wire in new circuit from a new plastic cu to say a socket in hallway, i cant issue minor works cert? then its a fail? then say the client who wanted a £50 socket wired to hall needs to pay 100's to ge cu changed to metal? or enclose it? whos responsibility is it to enclose it? a joniner or builder? they will prob change a **** load too?

Which source have you confirmed this with ?

EDIT: Just re-read your post and it seems "the wholesaler said so"
Manufacturers are still selling plastic boards because the new regulation only extends to domestic dwellings

I must admit I got taken in with this thread - I thought it was a genuine question at the start, but it seems he's a troll. Daz
