[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 437817, member: 6969"] There is nothing new about metal boards. There are plenty of them about even before the start of this year. But of course my pet hate is they have not addressed WHY consumer units catch fire, just put them in a tin box to (attempt) to stop the fire spreading. And as already noted, they never catch fire in an office, just in a house. Perhaps there is a link here, you don't get much DIY electrics done in a commercial building.... Another pet hate is if anybody was remotely interested in making electrical stuff "safe" then BC and ES lamp holders where you can remove the lamp and insert you finger onto live contacts, would have been outlawed years ago. On the subject of sockets, the 5a round pin is steadiliy making a comeback for lighting sockets. [/QUOTE]
