Site fabricated wooden trunking/capping

Saw this in a wooden summerhouse, the owner has created his own wooden capping to conceal the cables of a ring final circuit. I was wondering if this might create a safe zone issue where it runs along the bottom edge of the room. The cable is obviously not "buried in a wall at a depth < 50mm but could somebody inadvertently screw something to it. Is it concealed wiring or wooden trunking? Would it get a code if doing a EICR?9bba5a390d2db32d96e3f44285baa88c-huge-20200731_154357.jpg

    Fine, in my view, presuming that the cables within are insulated and sheathed. Not suitable for PVC singles in my view.

    If reasonably near a socket outlet, then in my view the likely presence of cables within is obvious.
