Fuse Box in house

tred · 2010-08-23 10:07:46

Lads, chatting to a sparky last week, Is it correct that the fuse box of the house needs now to be accessable at eye level, instead of high up in the corner of a room as it was historically? is there a reg change on it. For a new build I mean!

i'd have to go back and check

as i only dig out the rules when something comes up

it may not say they have to be flush alright-but it's something along those lines covering dry-lining and insulated slabs etc

No doubt that having a big gap from the front of the box to the back of the slab is bad workmanship alright, brutal in fact, when its simple to fit the boxes nice and level with the front of the wood frame on a properly fitted ground.
