Been looking at a job that needs a new CU and associated sockets & lights. The structure is a kit log cabin (fancy shed). Part M specifies that height of CU in a new structure (such as this) should be between 1350mm and 1450mm.
The shed is a temporary structure, it is in a Church' grounds, so not classed as a domestic premises, but it will be used by children (public) for Sunday school classes (so is kind of domestic).
Does this part M regulation still stand in these circumstances, because common sense tells me that locating the board higher up (about 5-6 ft) would prevent the kids sticking their fingers or whatever in it.
I dont suppose a departure from the regs on the eic would suffice, because being part M its a building regulation.
If there is no way round this, I suppose a CU with a lock is the way to go.
Any thoughts on this or similar situations. Thank you
