Distribution boards location

[Remmym]

Hi, I have never come across this before but is it OK to put a DB on the ceiling. We have had some cabins in and the db's are all on the ceiling. I have said this is wrong but my supervisor insists it is OK. Any input would be appreciated.

We seem to have extrapolated much from the sparse information provided by the OP - most of which isn't relevant to the questions asked.

Is it okay to mount a DB on the ceiling?

Is it okay if the cover opens downwards?

The only unknown is whether or not the lid has some means of retention and the OP has declined to comment further, despite having been online this morning. I'm guessing that it does.

If it is domestic, you could say that the enclosure will not contain a fire as the plastic parts are not contained within a non combustible enclosure unless the lid is closed.
a check with the manufacturer of the board would be a good place to start.

Sorry, the lid does stay shut
