Amendment 3 is not just
about Consumer Units

Regulation 421.1.201 in Amendment 3 to the wiring regulations is not just about non combustible enclosures
for consumer units, this new regulation (mandatory from Jan 1st 2016) requires non combustible enclosures on
similar switchgear assemblies too.
“Similar switchgear assemblies” includes switchgear that is used for the same fundamental purpose as consumer
units i.e. circuit protection applications within domestic household premises. This is why Wylex have several
ranges within their Amendment 3 offer.
As well as the NM range of consumer units there’s the range of Meter Cabinet Consumer Units (previously
known as Skeleton Units) in full non combustible all metal enclosures.These bespoke units are designed for use
in high rise, and similar applications where the electricity meter is housed within a cabinet outside the dwelling
and the consumer unit is located in the same enclosure in the space above the meter.
Plus there is a brand new range of Domestic Switch Fuse Units in all metal, non combustible enclosures.These
products are used wherever large buildings are being converted into several apartments.These are ideally suited
for sub main circuit protection applications in 60A 80A & 100A ratings.
Finally to further enhance the fire safety standards that are intended by regulation 421.1.201 Wylex, has also
introduced a range of accessories including intumescents, flame retardant grommets, non combustible blanks
& mains tails glands.
All Wylex domestic circuit protection units meet the requirements of the relevant product standards
(BS EN 61439) and the latest requirements of BS7671 Wiring Regulations including Amendment 3.
