During the 1980's, the Department of Health reviewed the MDB-type system and introduced the idea of fitted storage units supported, not by plinths from the floor, (as with MDB) but a system which had a cleaning zone underneath the units, requiring the units to either corbel from the wall, and to thus support the worktop, or to be hung from the underside of worktops, themselves supported by cantilever brackets. Both methods use stub legs under the units where additional support is required.

The new specification under HEALTH TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM 63 also embraced the advantages and versatility of newly introduced materials, such as Medium Density Fibre board, Corian, and the advancing development in drawer type ironmongery, allowing greater scope for maximising on storage space, and introducing more user-friendly, ergonomic designs.
