adhesive, or
2. Be provided with mechanical protection sufficient to prevent penetration by
nails, screws and the like, or
3. Be installed either horizontally within 150mm of the top of the wall or
partition or vertically within 150mm of the angle formed by two walls, or run
horizontally or vertically to an accessory or consumer unit.
4. Be covered by a suitable conductive covering for example a grid with a spacing
of not more than 3mm, this should be provided as an exposed conductive part
and connected to the protective conductor of the electrical installation.
Note
: The heating panels must always be protected by a 30mA RCD.
