Does this board meet Amendment 3?

My understanding, is that to comply, the board must be made of a non-combustible material.
Not aware of any requirements regarding up or down lids.
Though I have heard that the lids should hinge up so the fall down to cover the MCB/RCBOs.

Meter boards should be treated with fire retardant irrespective of whether the board is metal or plastic.
Though not covered by BS7671.

 

This might help ?

 

I've just fitted an AMD 3 BG cu. Seemed like nice kit, as good as a Wylex metal cu I fitted a few years back.

 

I know some moan about BG but I've never had a problem with any of there gear.

 

As mentioned in another thread I had few faulty RCDs a year or two ago but everything else is great about them.

I see MK have a recall on RCBOs at the moment as well, so not unique to BG

 

Yes i did notice the MK recall

 

mk went downhill ever since honeywell took them over

 

I laugh every time someone mentions MK, I've never been into sport,tbh I can't stand it,exercise is fine for other people.lol
Well quite a few years back someone was on about football and mentioned that the MK Dons were doing quite well,having electrical things on my mind at the time I replied "well I never knew that,fancy an electrical manufacturer owning a football team". doh!

 

ha ha lol

 

thats one of those better to keep your mouth shut and be thought as a fool than to open ur mouth and remove all doubt lol

 

You need to buy an old wylex board from Ebay and replace the fuses with nails. Sorted!!!!

 

You could bypass the meter as well then you wouldn't get ant leccy bills!
