fuseboard location

[switched on]

I was just wandering where you can and can't put fuseboards obviously its common sense and now the m regs but basically can a fuse board go in a airing cupboard. Its got a hot water cylinder in there too. I wiring it there and then after me the plumber decided to make his cupboard there typical. My napit assesment is going to be used for this too so would you recommend moving it?? Thanks for your advice

oh yes move it ,could be a fire hazard !!! think about the ambiant temprature and the fact if its an airng cupboard its going to get full of cloths , not a good position , a CDU should be some where accesible with out using ladders etc , 1500 or there about as close to the incomming service as possible

Spot on Nick it must be readily accessible and location it is in at the moment would cause issues with fire hazard etc.

Good luck with your assessment.
