Well, I'll kick off the debate on SPDs. Once again, the emphasis seems to be on domestic (we all, or virtually all of us live in a home of one sort or another) so are the proposals an improvement or not?
They seem to have converted the existing confusing criteria into a new set of completely bewildering criteria. If I am reading the draft 443.4.1 correctly, it summarises as:
Must protect if could result in risk of injury/life or financial / data loss.
Except single dwellings, if intolerable (as decided by all parties), do risk assessment to decide if protection required.
Protection not required for single dwellings with not much to lose (except it notes that most will have much to lose).
So they don't actually state what you should do for single dwellings with valuable electronics. It certainly doesn't state that you need SPDs, nor that you need to a risk assessment.
