Garden room electrics

MikeD

I'm planning to batten the interior of the garden room I'm building and line it with 6mm WBP plywood with the cables in the void behind.

Can I fit flush mounting mains sockets to the plywood or does this contravene a fire safety regulation?

    Thanks Mike.

    The building will be of structural insulated panels with a breathable membrane on the outside under the cladding. I wasn't aware I'd need one on the inside.

    I'm probably out of date now but when I was doing such things it was a breathable membrane on the outside and an impermeable membrane on the inside to stop warm moisture laden air from the living space condensing inside the timber frame.

    Yes I can see that a vapour barrier might be necessary. More research needed  ...

    Thanks.
