Hi, just undertaking an EICR on a factory and have came across, some perished shrouds inside of an old main frame board, i can not seem to find a regulation relating to this if there is one, also the boards have a wooden top panel where the cables enter before glanding off on the internal gland plates, is there a regulation for this also. Also came across these inside the board snd PFC’s.
Cheers

Those aren't shrouds it is conductor insulation almost certainly xlpe. Xlpe is generally resistant and the only things I can imagine have caused that is extreme over heating or chemical attack, the copper shows signs of corrosion so what sort of environment is it.
