A length of steel conduit with the ends made off properly is also fine.

Even if it is buried below the plaster?


Yes.


I thought protection had to be more than 3mm of steel and steel conduit
is only 1.6mm

When you say the ends are made properly, do you mean the conduit is
earthed?


There is actually no specification for the thickness of the steel other
than "3mm is deemed to be adequate".

1.6mm earthed steel conduit will pass.

The NICEIC seem happy for you to just use steel conduit (as long as you
are paying them your subs).

I have always found it easy enough to sink the cables 50mm deep.
