I think you mean insulated and sheathed
412.2.4.1 states that along with basic protection, wiring systems must have adequate mechanical protection. This can be in the form of the sheath. Hope this makes sense.
Plaster.

Haha, as you wish...
well sod it then...lets get the singles out and just clip em direct....swipe a bit of thistle over em....there!..jobs a gud un....It's as protective as a cable sheath.:devilish:
well the thing is n all Edd....just clipping flat twin direct in a workshop is/was one of the scenarios given for the 2391...a double garage being used as a lawnmower repair shop i think......Bit confused here,is it that people think that the capping is mechanical protection? It is in a sence but only for the plasterer who will dig into the cables.
But,, I think the mechanical protection reg is there for the people who think clipping Twin and Earths around a workshop is fine.
So as above, the plaster would indeed be mechanical protection. But as long as its us who carfully fill the chase for the plasterer then to skim over.
Note this is one example of a book load, I know we all read things diffrent.

they were running convection heaters of it...therer was no additional protection by means of RCD....just a few of the baddies as far as i can remember....
well a schedule of inspections has a box for `selection of equipment and protective measures suitable to external influences`....now obviously this doesn`t mean outdoors.....although that is also sometimes the case.....The T&E sheath is simple "mechanical protection", which is why it is ok to surface mount T&E. If you are talking about specific mechanical protection, such as steel conduit, or "suitable for environment", then that is a whole different ball-game.
I think you are right Edd, some people do think that capping serves as mechanical protection....
I honestly don't think there is much to misinterpret here if you read the BGB.
