Consumer unit ?

Indeed, there used to be a requirement that connections were to be made in a non-combustible box, which meant metal or plastic, and not wood.

So it does make you think if an all plastic consumer unit should comply with current regs.

It could do if it's the right plastic. Plastic is a very vague word (see wikipedia).

These are the regs for the domestic side of the meter. It would seem that the meters themselves can stillbe made of plastic, maybe because it has been found that smart meter installers are so talented that there has never been a single incidence of a fault or a problem following a smart meter installation.

PS It wonderful here in my parallel universe. And nearly time for my special pills....

Thanks TTC, that made me genuinely laugh aloud!

The problem was that many manufacturers did not comply with the BS EN 60439-3/61439-3 requirements, thereby necessitating the Regulation.
