If someone wants to enclose a TV/monitor in a MDF+perspex cabinat units with no access to remote sensor or power button, insufficient ventilation at the back, are there any electrical regs/PAT type rules that this would contravene?

Surely, every electrical item must have its access to power switch (even via an access slot under lock and key) readily accessible in case of mishaps.

The switch would be on the incoming power cable.


Assuming, of course, that whoever built the case, presumably to stop
people fiddling with the settings, didn't enclose that as well.

I think that was exactly their intention, but they've done it so well even support engineers cant access it.


You mean your support engineers don't carry angle grinders?
