Defines requirements for outdoor electricity meter cupboards.

This British Standard specifies requirements for outdoor electricity meter cupboards. It is intended to accommodate the Electricity Supply Industry’s service termination and metering equipment, in particular cut-outs, single and polyphase meters, isolators and communication equipment. It is also applicable to the following types of meter cupboards: built-in; surface-mounted. This British Standard also specifies requirements for the design, material and composition of the meter board. It is not applicable to multiple service metering installations which are installed in the same housing or security shrouds intended to provide additional protection to meter installations.
