Does commercial electrical wiring have to be in conduit if it is behind a wall covering?
It depends on whether the building classification is combustible or non combustible. On a new commercial building wiring is usually designed by an electrical engineer. In this case the wiring is done to their specifications. On a rewire of a commercial building BX cable can be used behind wall board. The reasoning is that most commercial buildings these days use steel studs. Dragging ordinary NMD wire through these types of studs can cut the outer sheath. In some jurisdictions steel stud bushings have to be used when a steel stud is hole punched. By using this type of wiring cable, rigid conduit or EMT does not have to be used.
