Certified electrical installations according to the law

The current criteria for the design, installation and testing of electricity systems are checked by strict regulations and guarantees a very high level of performance.

Regulation CEI 64-8/3 "electrical installations for users with a rated voltage not exceeding 1000 volts in alternating current and 1500 volts in direct current", effective since 1 September 2011 in its newest version for newly installated installations, introduces important new functions in areas of performance, energy saving and living comfort. This regulation also stipulates that the number of components in the new installation must be based on the surface of the dwelling and must be divided into three different performance levels :

  • Level 1 Basic : for those who only choose the most important, the system is equipped with the minimum equipment
  • Level 2 Standard : for those who choose a higher level of safety, usability and comfort
  • Level 3 Home automation : intended for the user who chooses a system that meets the highest standards

The installer can certify the quality and performance level of the system, which leads to the increase in value of the building.

A number of the legal provisions are described below:

  • Depending on the surface area of the property, it is necessary to provide a capacity of at least 3 Kw for residential units up to 75 square metres ; for larger surfaces it is necessary to provide at least 6 Kw of power with the obligation of a signed project by a qualified technician with contractual powers for more than 6 Kw;
  • The junction box is mandatory and must be equipped with a 25 amp main switch for a capacity of 3 Kw, or 32 amp for 6 Kw, depending on the capacity of the system. In order to enable future expansions, 15% more modules must always be available than the installed modules, and at least 2 free modules;
  • The cables must be removable and the colors of the non-conductors have been determined by the standard CEI-UNEL 00722;
  • It's mandatory to distribute the terminal circuit of the dwelling over at least two different switches;
  • The cable connections must be made with the appropriate connections in the cable box;
  • The on and off button on the connection cables is maximally permitted between two successive switches;
  • Each space has a minimum capacity allocation, as indicated the the New Annex A of the Legislation CEI 64-8/3.
