I have a question around equipment & electrical separation of circuit breaker grouping that I want to reference against the Regs book.

Initially believed this could be covered off by using 528.1 Proximity to electrical services (BAND 1 & 2 cables etc)

Client has mixed circuits of 230V, 110V breakers and they are all jumbled up.

EG,

CB1 - 230, CB2 - 110, CB3 - 110, CB4 - 230, CB5 - 230

All wired to the same part of the panel and grouped together.

Appreciate any thoughts on this one
 
Ideally they should be separated & appropriate gap between them, to ease thermal damage.
It is 110v so the cabling would be the same for 230v
Definitely SELV would need separation, & all cabled to correct colours
 
Have you got any pictures?

is this part of the fixed wiring or part of a machine control panel?
different standards apply.
