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.

    Lets face it, the definition is a bit arbitrary. The intent is really focussed on "a part of the fixed wiring installation which the London Fire Service has noted goes up in smoke a lot and which tends to be installed in places like under stairs where going up in smoke is particularly unwelcome". Presumably something with a lot of high current terminal connections is, purely on probabilistic grounds, more like to to go whoosh than a FCU or fuse switch.
