KNIGHTSBRIDGE SEES PART M

Knightsbridge – one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of wiring accessories and lighting – has recently compiled a collection of wiring accessories ideally suited to environments where meeting Part M of the Building Regulations is a concern. The collection covers safety, ease of use and hygiene, encompassing anti-bacterial switches and sockets and accessories dedicated for those with disabilities. At the heart of the Part M range is colour-contrasted, outboard rocker sockets, and high-contrast and wide-rockered switches for both lighting and appliances. To assist people with visual impairments, socket chassis come in a striking anthracite finish with white rockers for contrast. This range satisfies recommendations that switches contrast with front plates, which, in turn, contrast with walls. By mounting the rockers on the sockets’ outboard edges, the risk of an accidental disconnection or contact with live pins is greatly reduced. Both one- and two-gang sockets are available. Two-way light switches – again anthracite and white – come with single- or two-gang wide rockers, or in traditional narrow format in one, two or three gangs. Other switches are available for fan isolation, hobs, ovens and 13A fused spurs, with and without neons.
