Why Metal Consumer Unit?
From 1st January 2016, all consumer units installed or replaced in domestic properties are required to be made of or be enclosed by a non-combustible material, typically a ferrous metal* such as steel.
Existing plastic consumer units can be retained for alterations and additions, unless they show signs of thermal damage or the manufacturer’s design has been altered.
This does not mean your existing plastic consumer unit is necessarily unsafe, but it does mean if you are having it replaced, it will need replacing by a non-combustible one.
Why have these changes been made?
This is due to an amendment to the 17th Edition Wiring Regulations (BS7671), the national standard for electrical installation and the safety of electrical wiring in buildings. The changes to the regulations only apply to new consumer unit installations and replacements.
The new regulations have been introduced due to safety concerns raised by the UK Fire Services after an increased number of fires involving consumer units.
