Scolmore Group

Established in 1989, Scolmore Group is one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of electrical accessories, lighting, home automation, security and cable accessory products. The company is proud to be a British-based, family-run business, with a reputation worldwide for quality, reliability and innovation.

Scolmore designs, develops and manufactures an ever-expanding range of innovative and time-saving electrical accessory solutions for domestic and commercial projects.  Over the years the company has been developing a collection of wiring accessories specifically suited for the demanding needs of the healthcare sector, with a focus on hygiene, safety and security.

The specialist products that make up the Scolmore Medical Solutions range are from the Mode wiring accessories collection. All Mode products are manufactured using Urea Formaldehyde, which has similar inherent properties to antimicrobial additives that inhibit the growth of infectious diseases. All products independently tested achieved a 99.99% kill off rate across all four types of the strains of bacteria – MRSA, E-Coli, Salmonella, Klebsiella Pneumonia and enveloped viruses.

Mode plates have also been independently tested and have shown to have anti-viral properties against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses.  After a contact period of 4 hours, Mode was shown to have a 99.99% kill off rate against enveloped viruses and a 92% kill off rate against non-enveloped viruses.  It has also achieved 99.98% kill off rate against influenza A(H1N1) after a 24 hour period.

The full Mode antimicrobial and antiviral Medical Solutions range currently comprises switches and sockets; blue ‘Medical Equipment Only’ sockets; red and green outboard rocker switched socket outlets, key lockable switches and sockets; locating sockets; wide rocker switches, and the Part M range of visually contrasting wiring accessories.

Scolmore recently added EBBs (Equipotential Bonding Busbars) to its Click wiring accessories range.  EBBs play a major role in ensuring patient and clinician safety.  In accordance with the Requirements for Electrical Installations BS 7671:2018 AMD2 Section 710 (Medical Locations) and the Health Technical Memorandum HTM06 01:2017, all Group 1 and 2 Medical Locations are to have an Equipotential Bonding Busbar (EBB) and associated supplementary protective equipotential bonding installed.

Scolmore’s Medical Solutions brochure brings together this growing range of specialist products.  It provides a comprehensive guide for those contractors, specifiers and designers working on a range of healthcare related projects, including NHS hospitals, health centres, care homes and GP practices.

As well Click wiring accessories, Scolmore Group also incorporates Ovia lighting and lighting controls, ESP electronic security and fire detection solutions, and Unicrimp cable accessory products.
