Standards Myths on Projects

Avoid checkbox compliance that still leaves equipment exposed.

Myth: any CE-marked SPD is equal

Performance values differ widely. Compare Up, Iimp/In, and TOV behavior for your system.

Myth: standards replace engineering

Standards set frameworks. Cable lengths, board geometry, and load criticality still need engineering judgment.

Myth: paper risk study without installation QA

A perfect report with long SPD leads and missing bonds will still fail in the first major storm.
