I quoted a reg number, have you bothered to read it? I haven't I was just answering your post as to the correct terminology for prescribed / safe zones, not an argument as to whether it states that in BS7671.

Yes BYB page 197 Regulation number 611.3 (iii)
"routing of cables in safe zones , or protection against mechanical damage , in compliance with Section 522"

I have a preliminary pdf of the BBB. It looks like you are correct. It looks like it isn't mentioned in it.
The reg 611.3 in the BYB has been replaced with 642.3 in the BBB and 'safe zones' has been replaced with 'prescribed zones'
