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.

    Reading the definition of "consumer unit" in Part 2 it mentions type-testing twice and the parts of the assembly being "suitable for such use". Assuming the "use" is as a "consumer unit", as opposed to a more general DB, would it make sense to ask the manufacturers of switchfuses whether they consider them to be consumer units? We would then have to take account of their instructions and act accordingly.
