Around here the most common places are either in the garage or the bin cupboard near the front door. Runners up are the under stairs cupboard or a kitchen cupboard.

Yes I know it's Wikipedia but it's fairly self explanatory
hahaha you had to google the word enclosure :dunce2:
i think you are getting confused, an 'electrical enclosure' as per your Google search is something such as a consumer unit.
Try googling 'enclosure'
Such as those that need to google the word enclosure..
So what are your thoughts of a plastic consumer unit being located within a non combustible cupboard/cabinet/enclosure or whatever you wish to call it
OP

Such as has been happening for decades? Don't really have any thoughts on the subject.
It wasn't me who classed a cupboard as an enclosure, just thought I'd remind you of that.

If a consumer unit is enclosed in a cupboard then by definition that cupboard is an enclosure..
Now if that cupboard is also non combustible then the consumer unit is located within a non combustible enclosure and therefore complies with the new regulation..
