SWA fixing - where in wiring regs / other guides?

[Trusty Crow]

Hi - FInishing last leg of my training with some real-world installations which will be supervised by my NAPIT mentor when I find one - I'm looking for some orthodox guidance as to the proper fixing of SWA cable in exterior situations - I recall from training that, for example, fixing to wooden fences may or not be OK, and I'm seeing a couple of places where catenery wires will be neccessary ( replacing Heath Robinson dangled T+E between house + shed, for example )

Not sure if even a wooden garden shed is offically allowed as a fixing point- maybe I need to add a concrete post for the catenery. Many questions, clear answers seem elusive as ever.

I'm looking at a cable run over / through a variety of materials and need to to make sure I'm designing this correctly so want to know the trusted source of info for this- It seems that a lot of things are ambiguous and seem to have no fixed methodology, and rely on common sense - in spite of the very detailed wiring regs which I have obviously had to learn to navigate as much as possible.

Not recalling or seeing a particular section that covers armoured cable and it's safe fixing / running.

Thanks for any pointers anyone might have for best place to look.

Regulations will not generally be specific to a particular type of cable or equipment. The manufacturer of a cable may give specific guidance but the norm would be "should be installed to Regulation................."
You will note cable cleats for a three core 1.5mm² cable are somewhat smaller than for an equivalent 150.0mm² cable so this part is essentially done for you.
