Boards

I have six plastic back boxes mounted an a wooden board which is spaced about 20mm from the wall.

Connections between the boxes will be out of the back, behind the board and back into another box.

Do the wires between the boxes, going behind the board need to be double insulated?

    I am thinking how will the box behind, presumably sunk into the wall, be accessible for inspection? Would the board be removable and will there be enough slack on the singles? And is there a reason why you need to use singles instead of sheathed cables? 

    Nearest thing I can think of this situation is in a cupboard above an inset oven where there are loads of FCUs stuck on the back wall of the cupboard. People tend to fill the cupboard with stuff andSlight smile inadvertently switch off one of the FCUs, then wonder why the dishwasher isn't working. In this situation FCUs would be better situated towards the front on one side. The whole lot can also be missedSlight smile in an EICR. But I digress, a bit of a sore point with me, I was called out for just such an occurrence recently, DW not working.Slight smile

    Edit; posted this on my phone and can't seem to delete the smileys. Please ignore all but the last one.

  • Nothing is sunk into the wall.  The board is 20mm clear of the wall.  Cables get behind in a drop of 2x1 mini trunking.

    Singles and sheathed cables are not mutually exclusive and it should be obvious why, for a single connection, a single is preferable to T&E.

    And your comparison with a cupboard above an oven baffles me.
