Reference Methods

Wondered what installation reference method people might be using for a T&E cable on a masonry wall that is then covered with plasterboard, ie a typical dot and dab affair. I think "C" is correct as all installation methods involving a cable in contact with a wall and NO insulation map to reference method "C". Wouldn't think the plasterboard or covering the cable with capping would make any difference. I raised the question due to seeing A,B, & C on various other contractors certs.

    I presume the cables go through an insulated ceiling after being clipped up the wall if we are talking about a standard domestic installation ?


    Yes, they are clipped to the masonry and then whatever bit of woodwork is handy, so there will be 4" lengths where they are between the masonry or woodwork and the wadding. I hope that my description makes sense.
