The switch complies with Building Regulations Part M for accessible installations, fitted with a grey triangular bangle at the end of a 2m grey cord set between 900-1100mm above floor level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for bathrooms, wet rooms and other spaces where a conventional wall switch cannot be installed due to zone regulations or where accessible switching is required, the 50A rating handles circuits up to 11,500W on 230V supply. The double-pole design isolates both live and neutral lines when switched off, providing additional safety for water-heating appliances. The neon indicator glows when the circuit is live, and the mechanical rocker moves position to show ON or OFF status even when the neon fails.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe white thermoset resin body carries IP20 rating for dry or splash-protected locations, with anti-microbial properties tested to third-party standards on the base unit. The 85mm square faceplate projects 44mm from the ceiling or wall once surface-mounted. The grey triangular bangle at the end of the cord provides visual contrast against most ceiling backgrounds and is distinguishable from emergency assistance cords, meeting Part M contrast requirements. Knightsbridge backs this switch with a 25-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e85 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProjection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e44 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\u003eWhite\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eII\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\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEarth Terminal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNeon Indicator\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\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\/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_4830356_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/manual_1324118.pdf\" target=\"_self\"\u003eProduct Manual\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Part M compliance and why does it matter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilding Regulations Part M sets accessibility standards for new builds and refurbishments in England and Wales. This switch meets Part M by having a visually contrasting bangle at the correct height range (900-1100mm) and being distinguishable from emergency pull cords.
