[QUOTE="Percival, post: 534357, member: 35639"] I was told the fascia had to be earthed to the back box in case the fascia mounting screws become live. A good case in point is P4 where the live wire had not been connected properly. I changed the fascia on three switched sockets for switched sockets with USB ports. If the fascia is not required to be earthed to the back box, why earthing points exist and why did the electrician connect it in some but not in others? [/QUOTE]
