With work in the garden coming to a close I am looking to start the permanent wiring of the garage. The main cable will pass from the house through plastic conduit into the garage the conduit being fixed to a beam above a side gate over a 1.2m path separating the garage from the house. Question? With the new rules regarding fire containment within CUs is it permissible to connect PVC conduit and for that matter PVC trunking directly up to the CU or do any particular fixings or glands need to be used?

A PVC conduit installation across the gate to the garage CU could result
in build up of condensation that may drip into the garage CU. So either
slope the conduit the correct way or fit some sort of drip tray. This
could be as easy as a conduit T box with an open bottom (no pun
intended) before the garage CU

Other than that I would normally fit a bit of intumescent silicone
around any cables entering the CU.
