I would say that installing cables horizontally with adequate protection between accessories is fully compliant with 522-06-06 of te IEE Regulation. I stand to be corrected if if I have misinterpreted.
Believe me you have not misinterpreted.
It may not be a breach of the regs in the technical sense, but it is bad practise and prone to disaster.
It is YET ANOTHER example of the Regs being written by pen pushers who do not live in the world everyone else does.
The Guys who wrote the regs have only got their hands dirty when falling over!!
