Surge Protection in Healthcare Buildings

Adrian B
Morning All


Can anyone point me in the direction of any regulations, requirements or recommendations that suggest the provision of Surge Protection (voltage) is NOT required within Healthcare environments, in particular Hospitals.


HTM 06-01 notes that consideration should be made at the LV intake point, but I cannot say that I have ever read anywhere that it is NOT required.


This has come to light following a site visit and discussions with an 'old' Clerk of Works recently who is adamant that the 'Regs' say it is not required, although no mention was made as to what 'Regs' he was referring to.


Many thanks in advance to anyone who can assist

    Thanks John


    As per my reply to Z, I stupidly did not mention that I had already referred to BS7671, but am curious if there is in fact some reg. that suggests it is not required, as the Clerk of Works was very insistent that it was not.


    Regards
