Knightsbridge has compiled a collection of wiring accessories suited to environments where meeting Part M of the Building Regulations is a concern. The collection covers safety, ease of use and hygiene, encompassing anti-bacterial switches and sockets and accessories dedicated for those with disabilities. At the heart of the Part M range are colour-contrasted, outboard rocker sockets, and high contrast and wide-rockered switches for both lighting and appliances.
To assist people with visual impairments, socket chassis come in a striking anthracite finish with white rockers for contrast. This range satisfies recommendations that switches contrast with front plates, which in turn contrast with walls. By mounting the rockers on the sockets’ outboard edges, the risk of an accidental disconnection or contact with live pins is greatly reduced. Two-way light switches – again anthracite and white – come with single or two-gang wide rockers, or in traditional narrow format in one, two or three-gangs.
Other products in Knightsbridge’s range that lend themselves to Part M applications include pull-cord operated switches to assist the less able, and an extensive series of data and media modules.
