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?
I think the "injury/death" is targeted more along the lines of "if a transient of any form takes out some electrics, does the failure of those electrics risk injury/death? E.g. medical locations.
Following GK's comment upon the BS EN 62305 series, I looked it up. Hospitals are exactly what is in mind as far as the risk of injury or death is concerned. Imagine a near lightning strike/stroke taking out the equipment in ITU!
