Consumer unit too close to gas meter

[DPG]

I would avoid the chrome look alike version, but my IR tester tells me that the white version is an electrical insulating material', so that's good enough for me.

Possibly so. I still don't see it as a professional solution though.

Here's my cu with the gas pipes adjacent, the white pipes are clip around sleeves and the yellow is the gas incomer, the yellow insulation is insitu and part of the pipe when it was installed. I used the CU for Stroma assessment years ago and had no complaints at the time ! And it's not blown up, yet The DNO replaced the head at the time and no qualms from them either.

QED, I think.

I had this the other day. Needed to replace the old fusebox right next to the incoming gas pipe. Looks like they had a smart gas meter fitted fairly recently and whoever did it has covered the gas pipe with some sort of clear PVC sheath.

I'm assuming this is them covering the pipe with an electrically insulating material to comply with regs?
