Mcb cover on consumer unit

[highspark]

Just been to a job and the cover which goes over the MCB's is missing can you code for this?

Front cover is on no finger or tool ingress could occur etc

I understood this to be purely cosmetic and so long as IP rating is achieved, no code.

Is in a place where you could catch a breaker accidentally?

is this a wylex 3036 board that has had MCBs retro fitted?

 

[highspark]

No this is a Tenby consumer unit. The visor is missing which covers the mcb's

 

[telectrix]

got you. should not pose a problem as long as the IP rating of the CU cover is not compromised.

As above, no code as long as the IP rating has not been compromised. Seen this a few times where the CU is in a position where the cover can't be opened i.e. in an enclosure with a sliding door.

If there is the possibility of accidental operation of the MCB then make a note on the paperwork, i.e. in a cupboard where coats are hung they may accidentally knock the MCB and switch the circuit off.
