the terminal or if it could be subject to damage. The dimensions of the guard shall be such that, when fitted
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, no part of the guard shall be less than 50 mm from any
part of the terminal (not including any wall plate). The guard shall not have any sharp edges likely to cause
