Plastic switch in external meter box

aligarjon
Can i fit a plastic switch fuse such as an 800kmf in the external meter box or does it have to be metal.   I am not interested in the dno view, they always seem to be happy with our switch gear in there around here so long as we leave them enough room.

    Single pole & neutral switchfuseThe 800KMF is a fully moulded, compact wall mounted.....


    .....dataSpecification

    Product standard IEC/EN 60947-3

    You cannot interchange or replace the switch or fuse holder base without destroying it.  It is moulded case, there is no enclosure to replace, it is part of the product. If there is a problem you replace the whole unit. It is not manufactured as an assembly to BS EN  61439-3 as it is not a consumer unit and it has not got a separate enclosure that you can re-configure the internals.
    Back in 2015, people flapped about and, for a very short period [ short enough so no one noticed the foolishness of it ], there were “metal versions” advertised by those trying to get on the bandwagon. Strangely all vanished now…
