Indeed, but it's still a source of confusion. The EN Generics define a 'residential, commercial and light industrial environment', which leads to the question of whether 'residential' is identical to 'domestic' or not. A hotel might be 'residential' but is not 'domestic'. In fact, 'domestic' shouldn't be used in an IEC standard because there are translation problems (e.g. it means something very different in 'gross domestic product' - not an enormous refrigerator or a very ugly vacuum cleaner!)- the preferred word is 'household'. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
