Indeed - and also factors such as whether it is 'self-extinguishing'.When I attended meeting it seemed 900°C was being muted but you are of course correct most materials will at some temperature exothermic combine with oxygen which is what we consider as burning. What is important is the temperature at which this happens.
Rescinding Amendment Three???
Just had a look in Wickes, they have restocked their plastic consumer units once more, and selling them at around GBP 70 for a 10 way populated board with Dual RCD's.
Is there anything on the horizon about re-legalising plastic consumer units?
Or plasterboard.Plastic CU's can be housed in a metal box.
Regular, or pink?Or plasterboard
Sort-of ... we're really waiting for them to first change 'non-combustible' to 'fire-resistant' (or something like that) - and then to produce a definition for the latter.All we are really waiting for is a definition of "fire resistant".
Let's not forget that it's only domestic (household) premises where "non-combustible" CUs are required - shops, offices, hotels, restaurants, factories, hospitals etc can carry on using "combustible" ones.
That probably makes sense. They probably only offered them for silly low prices because they thought that the market for them was about to disappear. If they've discovered that there is, in fact, a substantial ongoing market, it makes sense that they would have put them back to their 'original' prices.... and most wholesalers have them back in stock now - and even charge extortionate prices for them now - the same price as the Amendment Three metal boards, once you take v.a.t. into account it's even more!!
