Trunking for 6mm Cooker Cable behind plasterboard?

[Glyn1959]

Hi I am running 6mm cooker cable down the kitchen wall behind plasterboard that I am dot and dabbing to the wall.
Does this require trunking? If so what do you recommend?
Thanks

If it's T&E cable, trunking / conduit is not required.

…Assuming the cable runs vertically or horizontally from the cooker connection point.

You could put some capping over it for mechanical protection if you're worried. Though if it's safe zone and RCD protected it should not be necessary

Capping isn't mechanical protection. Nails and screws pass through it easily, as that's how it is fixed to the wall.

I guess so but one would normally use a masonary bit to drill holes rather than nail something in a wall so it would offer some form of protection however small.

It's dot&dab plasterboard. A few clips are all that's needed.
