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?
DaveZ nails it - this is all about the industry lobby groups on the Wiring Regs Committee dreaming up new illusory risks to which they have the magic bullet answer - but it'll cost ya! SPDs, along with AFDDs are snake oil products which promise the earth but deliver only a handful of soil where it isn't needed nor wanted.
There are that many ifs buts and maybes in the regs these days that you might as well write your own, or at least stick to the safe physics evidence instead.
