Our Commitment
Part M and Electrical Installations
In any electrical installation you must consider Part M of the Building Regulations.
It requires that reasonable provision be made for people to gain access to a building’s facilities. Four key factors need considering for electrical products:
- Ease of operation
- Visibility
- Height
- Freedom from obstruction
Wiring Accessories
Depending on your residents’ needs, Hager can provide wiring accessories that visually contrast with the background, LED lights in the rocker to clearly indicate whether they are on or off for partially sighted people and wide rocker switches to help those with limited dexterity.For height the approved document prescribes that switches, socket outlets and ‘other equipment’ need to be at appropriate heights, which are defined as between 0.45m and 1.2m from the finished floor level.
