Plywood backboard for BS EN61439-3 compliant consumer unit

George Frewin over 5 years ago

Can a plywood backboard be used for mounting a BS EN61439-3 compliant consumer unit ?

The consumer unit itself is a non-combustible enclosure providing the cables are not rear entry through the plywood so I do not see an issue here but

there are mixed opinions on using such a scenario on other forums.

Thanks for your comments Alcomax. From the other comments received so far on this topic I'm reading that it is ok to use plywood to mount a consumer unit providing the integrity of its fitting does not compromise compliance to BS-EN6143-3 or BS 7671.
