The anthracite thermoset resin faceplate has a curved edge profile with no sharp corners or edges, and the contrast between the dark plate and a lighter wall finish aids visibility for users with reduced vision or cognitive impairment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for accessible housing, care homes, education and commercial spaces where Part M compliance is required, the socket fits a standard 25mm minimum back box and provides double-pole switching that isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off. The anti-microbial additive incorporated into the thermoset resin has been tested to ISO 22196:2011 and reduces bacterial growth on the surface, which is particularly relevant in healthcare settings, public buildings and high-touch communal areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved edge plate measures 86mm square with a 7mm projection from the wall once fitted, giving a lower-profile finish than some traditional socket designs. The anthracite finish provides a contemporary darker alternative to white or chrome without losing the contrast needed for Part M compliance when installed on a lighter-toned wall. The thermoset resin construction resists UV degradation and impact better than standard thermoplastic, and the 25-year warranty reflects the long service life expected from commercial-grade wiring accessories.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMin.
