In this instance if 3 core SWA cable is used, you only record the 3rd core not the swa. If 2 core then you record the CSA of the swa and in the notes state in compliance with Table *** (can't remember the number of the top of my head)

What you DON'T DO, is ever try and combine any copper CPC and swa. Only the highest complying CPC conductor is recorded.... Also remember, that SWA armouring is unlikely to comply if any main bonding is also involved....
