Is there an official standard for the exact width of the safe-zone created on a wall by the presence of a visible accessory like a socket?
Is it the exact width of the socket? If so - is it the width of the socket facia or the back-box?
Ultimately my ask is: if I have existing sockets in a room with horizontal cabling, and I want to run a new cable around the room and clip it to the wall directly below the existing back boxes - is that going to fall foul of regulation?
