Is a surge protection device a requirement or a recommendation?

When I did the C&G EV course in July at NAPIT in Portishead, Bristol the tutor touched on the subject of SPDs, however he actually recommended doing their one day SPD course, because there’s a lot more to it than generally gets mentioned in short presentations.
Since then I have been to the NAPIT Expo in Bristol and did the 18th edition amendment two update training, which included a session on the SPD requirements, prior to this I have attended sessions at Elex and other trade events.
My understanding is if the EV manufacturer installs an SPD within the EVSE the installer should still install a Type 1 or 2 at the intake as the SPD in the EVSE may be a Type 3.
I have taken part in face to face training sessions, webinars, read articles and watched online videos, but still I don’t feel confident that I can give a definitive answer to the question.
