The term "fixed installation" refers to the system being installed not the dwelling that the system is being installed into.
"Fixed installation", is defined as "a particular combination of several types of apparatus and , where applicable, other devices, which are assembled, installed and intended to be used permanently at a predefined location."

If so - how is this one going to be promulgated, if not - what is the difference between the domestic and the commercial / industrial situation?

Keep this in mind if you answer this message. Ian, everyone Not a DoC (no conformity assessment required), but as I said, good engineering practices documentation for EMC-significant changes to existing installations, and all new fixed installations, from 20 July. Houses are fixed installations (see May 2007 EC Guide, 1.3.1) but most will contain only compliant apparatus that is placed on the market. 4.2 of the EC Guide shows that for installations comprised solely of compliant apparatus, the responsible person satisfies the documentation requirements by being able to provide, on request, the instructions for installation, use and maintenance provided by the supplier of each apparatus. I hope this helps.

What about houses? Are they fixed installations?
