New Focus Prosumer Installations
The 2025 update introduces new chapter Prosumer Low Voltage Electrical Installations ,
reflecting the rise self-generating energy users. Protecting sensitive electronics from voltage spikes now recognized
as essential, especially smart home technologies and electronic devices become more
integrated into modern living.With the rapid growth electric vehicles, the new regulations impose stricter requirements for
EV charging infrastructure All new charging points must now include smart capabilities,
ensuring safe interaction with national grid systems and future-proofing homes for bi-directional
charging where applicable.
. This addition ensures the safe and efficient
integration solar panels, home batteries, and energy management systems, allowing
homeowners produce, store, and manage energy while remaining connected safely the
grid. These updates address fault protection, load balancing, and system
monitoring guarantee safer charging home and businesses.
Tighter Residual Current Device (RCD) Requirements
Strengthening the safety net against electric shock and fire hazards, the regulations now require
RCD protection wider range domestic circuits.
Increased Emphasis Surge Protection Devices (SPDs)
Finally, the updated standards encourage the use Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) more
domestic installations. Areas like kitchens, bathrooms, and
outdoor installations see reinforced safety standards, minimizing potential risks day-to-day
usage
