17th Amendment 3 - Do these comply?

[LED Lighting]

Hi All

Do the MK Flush consumer unit comply with the new Amendment 3 of 17th Edition?

Metal back with a plastic front????

I'm looking at installing this one into a flat conversion I'm doing as we speak.

Thanks but I thought these regs changed in July 2015?????

yes, but some extra time was built in for the metal CU nonsense. to allow getting rid of the stock of plastic.

fitted some BG board couple of days ago, it had "made of fire resistant plastic" written in the manual...

it says "persil washes whiter" on buses, but they don 't take in your washing.

Sorry to be thick, but in the simplest terms, does this mean we can currently still fit plastic consumer units within new build projects up until the end of the year?

Thank you

Yes. Or beyond that date if they are in a fireproof enclosure.
