Can't individual pieces of kit in a domestic setting such as an expensive IT setup be individually protected ? That would be a lot more economical and simpler ?

Why do it piecemeal? It's like saying fit an rcd socket to each outlet!
A normal household must have several thousand £ worth of appliances installed, not counting cost of labour replacement etc.
Maybe the question should be .. why NOT fit an spd if youre replacing a DB?

THAT WHY YOU PUT IN A RCBO. the chances of a spike .you have more chances of being kissed on the lips by a giraffe.

You really think a giraffe will stoop to kiss you? And if she does have you seen her tongue?

those numskulls at the IET ,come up with those ideas .fitting them to a domestic consumer unit it will be like building the ISS .

Remember the JPEL/64 committees are mostly influenced by commercial interests - the Wiring Regs has become a lucrative means of both revenue generation and mechanism by which manufacturers to avoid product r recalls of their products by constantly requiring updates of existing dodgy equipment ( re: plastic consumer units made from non-flame retardant plastics ).

Only a totally corrupt "industry" would sit idly by and watch manufacturers mislead parliament ....
