Insulated tails used to supply flats

We have a block of flats completed in 2017 that have supplies to individual flats in insulated twin and earth.

These cables are fed from a switch fuse and then into a ceiling disappearing into the building fabric.

I no longer carry electrical regs books (Approved sparks but fire specialist) but I did flag up the poor way these cables were installed and questioned if they required a RCD as they were not in metal conduit of armoured cables as I normally see.

Was it not a requirement in a 2015 amendment that all cables such as this were protected/RCD?

Many thanks for taking the time to read.

Paul.

    Thanks both, was there not an amendment in 2015 requiring all cables in the building fabric to be protected by armour or RCD, I’m sure I saw it somewhere, the 50mm rule has been in since the 17th I think?
