[QUOTE="binky, post: 455402, member: 490"] as I undertand it, this basically translates to understairs cupboards where CU is mounted to exposed timbers / wood. I doubt a CU mounted to plasterboard would ever be a problem, except where excessive cable entries into, say, a wall may allow transmission of fire to combustible materials. Seeing as alot of sparkies have taken to kncoking out all the cable entries in metal boards and fitting plastic trunking to maintain IP rating, the fire suppresion rating of metal is almost certainly compromised in a lot of instances anyway - another grey area non-sense!
