Moulded from thermoset resin with anti-microbial properties tested to ISO 22196:2011, the plate achieves a Light Reflectance Value of 8.9, qualifying it for Part M compliance when paired with contrasting white or light-coloured rocker modules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart M of the Building Regulations requires switches and sockets to contrast visually with their surroundings for ease of identification by users with visual impairment. This anthracite faceplate provides the required 30% LRV difference against white modules and works on light-coloured walls to meet compliance in new builds, extensions and material alterations to dwellings. The plate mounts onto a separate 1-2 gang mounting frame (sold separately), which fixes to a standard 25mm back box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe curved edge profile gives a softer visual line than flat plates and the 7mm projection from the wall keeps the installation low-profile. The thermoset resin construction resists impact and everyday wear better than standard thermoplastic faceplates, and the anti-microbial additive reduces bacterial colonisation on the surface — tested by third-party laboratories and relevant in clinical, care and high-footfall commercial environments.\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\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThermoset resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnthracite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnti-Microbial Properties\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3rd Party Tested to ISO 22196:2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_4831987_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Part M compliant mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart M of the Building Regulations requires switches and sockets to have sufficient visual contrast with their surroundings so they can be easily identified by users with reduced vision.
