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

    You also have the requirement in BS EN 62305 for Type 1 SPDs if the building has an LPS installation or is supplied by an overhead line. this is referred to in the Note to Regulation 534.4.1.1.


    Perhaps your wise old Clerk of Works could direct you to a written authority to support his view?
