Default Wiring a workshop using conduit wiring - how to?

Is conduit required by the regs? I can't see how a plastic conduit is

Plastic - no explicitly, though it could be argued as providing
protection suitable for the environment.

Don't underestimate it - it's pretty tough. I'd rather a mis-aimed
chisel or knife or lump of wood struck tube than T+E cable. The former
might sustain some damage but you'd have to belt it pretty hard to
damage what's inside.
