Switched on to dda needs
October 1st 2007

21st Century Contract Services, electrical contractor for a business park in South East London, chose Eaton's new clip-on plate wiring accessories to satisfy a requirement for switches and socket outlets that meet disability requirements.

The Dagenham-based contractor was faced with the challenge of finding a cost-effective range of switches and socket outlets that would satisfy the demands of the DDA in 24 industrial units on the Crossways Business Park in Dartford. It opted for the COPA Clip-on plate accessory range which is offered with a choice of different coloured clip-on face plates to conceal the fixing screws.

Accessories were installed at the second fix stage, without the face plates, and the installation was safe to energise. Walls were painted without the plates to avoid getting paint on them. Face plates were then simply clipped into place. They can be safely removed when redecorating.
