What code? bonding conductor

[Pete999]

Bit confused where does mounting it on battens come into it. The board in the picture clearly has the back knocked out, is mounted flat leaving conductors exposed to a combustible surface.

Like the Plastic CU

You can’t code it for being mounted on a wooden surface even with the back cut out IMO without evidence of a problem or even loose connections.
Bit like a plastic consumer unit which is combustible.
Check tightness of connections,tight and secure, no code.

I was replying generally to the idea of using rear knockouts. In the OP's picture it does look like the CU is mounted straight on a wooden surface, with the back knocked out. Not sure why I must say.

You mean can't code it?

Like that... we used to use picnic... Problem in chair not in code

What has being Scottish got to do with it?

No code, it is accessible so screwed terminal is an acceptable form of termination.
