German Standards?

Stephen Biddle

Hi All

My son has just bought a house in Germany.  He wants me to inspect and carry out some modifications.  What are the applicable German standards?  I imagine they are not far from BS7671 and expect it's some DIN standard.  I'll take my trusty Fluke meter and get it calibrated locally just to be on the safe side.

    There are significant differences in the installations. The houses are usually fed with 3 phase supplies which are fed through to high wattage systems, boiler, cooker etc.

    Installation is usually singles in plastic conduits with a radial per room or group of small rooms which also feeds the lights.

    The application of the zones in bathrooms is also different. This gives some basic information:
