Cobblers. a single back box is > 50mm x 50mm, the screws can come into contact with a person. and you can't say that a connection would be difficult.410.3.9

Back box not earthed?

The point is that the screws can’t be gripped and can’t make any significant contact with the human body other than a finger tip, the back box can’t be touched at all.Cobblers. a single back box is > 50mm x 50mm, the screws can come into contact with a person. and you can't say that a connection would be difficult.

Says the same thing in the 18th edition gn1 and gn8I must admit that my version of GN1 is the 17th Edition Amendment No. 3 version rather than the 18th Edition version, however it states:
"However, the IET takes the view that flush metal accessory boxes should be considered to be exposed-conductive-parts and connected to the main earthing terminal by means of a circuit protective conductor."
So regardless of what any Regulation states about screw heads the actual backbox still must be considered to be an exposed-conductive-part, which was my point.
