Sockets & switches 🇮🇪 Ireland
What height should a socket be in Ireland?
About 450 mm to centre above finished floor is a typical height for sockets in Irish homes. The wiring rules don't set it – the Building Regulations do: TGD Part M (accessible areas of dwellings) wants sockets between 400 mm and 1,200 mm above floor.
TGD M: 400–1,200 mm (sockets)Typical ~450 mm to centre
Regulation: Building Regulations TGD Part M (2010) – not I.S. 10101.
