I cannot see any manufacturers on there.

They are "tucked away" in the variety of bodies....

not looked at the links #108 then?

 

[Mr Ohm's]

Afternoon all! I know this thread has already over a 100+ reply's but I will also put my tuppence worth out there.. I would C3 this query (obviously with a BS 421.1.201 accompanied) if I came across a plastic D.B or other switchgear being in the location of a escape route or under a wooden stair case, but if I found unsatisfactory connections i.e. evidence of excessive heat (charring) from visual inspections carried out I would C2.

Regulations cannot be applied retrospectively or we would all millionaires note it, underline it, do it in red and wtf has stairs got to do with it,

 

[westward10]

I understand escape routes as this is quoted in BS7671 but not below a wooden staircase.

If that is the only way "down" then surely its an escape route

Think this link might convince you partly of Murdoch's argument;

Yes from a fire upstairs but the other way round, I'd be oot a window

 

[westward10]

The cupboard below the stairs is not the route.

 

[Midwest]

Mind you, most stairs are wooden, but most are covered in plasterboard.

 

[Midwest]

The cupboard below the stairs is not the route.

But the cupboards holding up the stairs.
