SocketWatts guide

The rules, in plain English

The route applies in Great Britain. It is limited to a complete product that meets the Interim Product Specification and has no battery that imports electricity for later supply.

We publish this guidance for households in Great Britain. It is intentionally cautious because the decision depends on a complete product, its documentation, the mounting location and the electrical installation.

SocketWatts does not approve products or certify installations. If an answer is uncertain, pause and check it with the landlord, freeholder, manufacturer or a competent electrician as appropriate.
