we've all heard of the dreaded approved document P (part p), well part M's just another approved document of the building regs; is to do with 'access and facilities for the disabled'.

dunno what the blue strips will be for tho, maybe to make the sockets more visible?

 

[Cirrus]

Aren't the blue strips just the dado lid with the blue plastic covering on???

 

[benji]

no there 25.0mm wide and there fitted either side of the socket before the cover/lid is fitted ,something to do with visually impaired people

 

[Grae79]

maybe have braille on them so they don't stick fingers in the socket!

 

[ecclescake]

But how do they find the plug?

 

[sparkyork]

do they have a ramp up to the plug?
