Default Garage socket & pattress question and 17th Edition wiring regs

Hi,

I am putting in a new 32A ring main that will just be for garage
internal sockets and external outside sockets. This is on a RCBO.

Reason for this if anything happens outside, it does not affect anything
else internally in the house.

I am using IP67 rated kit for all the sockets that are outside.

The garage is integral to the house, has no windows, has a upvc door and
an up and over garage door.

I am using 20mm conduit to mechanically protect the cables from
accidental damage throughout

Now do the socket face plates and pattresses that are INSIDE the garage
have to be IP rated as well or is white domestic faceplates and
pattresses inside a garage acceptable for meeting 17th Ed wiring regs?
