Why FEEDS? Electrical safety contributes significantly to domestic

accidents, especially fires. Periodic inspection & regular installation maintenance

contribute to domestic electrical safety ECI’s electrical safety programme recognised this and built

a statistical case/model to demonstrate this:– 1st at various national levels– 2nd at an EU level

National and international initiatives stimulated pursuing the same aim of:– influencing change to regulations concerning regular PI – ensuring home users take responsibility for their premises’ electrical

installation safety.

Why FEEDS?

Activity and results over the past 5 years– Belgium– France– Germany– Italy– Poland– Spain– UK

What do we know? - The next 5 years - Discussion



The early national programmes & national fire prevention

UK:– FPA involved from the start of the LGA of the electrical safety seminars

1996 – 2000 Spain:

– CEPREVEN & regional government authorities involved in that seminar programme.

Poland– WFE – good research and the power to close buildings

Belgium – Informal contact and discussion with the Belgian Fire Brigades

NB Much of the knowledge about the origins of fires is reported speech

For very good and understandable reasons, official reporting of fires tends to be limited to suspicious cases

These programmes and subsequent EU-wide studies show that consistent official fire incident data does not exist

What do we know?Housing profiles: Numbers of homes and their age profiles – EU-

25 +/- 180 million. +/- 70% built pre 1980 Effective renovation rates [ie contributing to

improving electrical safety] – 0.3-0.4% pa Certainly safe EU homes – those built after 1997

= 14% Plus further effectively renovated homes over

the past 10 years = + 3.5%

What do we know?Old and ageing domestic installations service

more intense demand for longer.

Housing electrical safety trends: Home appliances penetration x2 over the past 20 years. Domestic energy consumption increased by 11% in 1st

half of this decade – since 1980…?

Risk modelling eg: 1980 – system use 30% for 60% of the day = 18% 2007 – system use 40% for 100% of the day = 40%



What do we know?Increasing demand on unsafe installations

results in increasing electrical system sourced

fires.

Domestic electrical sourced fires: Decade 2000 electrical system sourced fires +23%;

non-electrical +5.3%



Content Why FEEDS? Activity and results over the past 5 years What do we know?

What do we need to know?




What do we need to know? Housing profiles - - sourced from national & Euro stats Housing electrical safety benchmarks - - sourced from

national & Euro surveys Effective renovation rates - - to date modelled from ad

hoc market intelligence – need for independent confirmation– Modelling?– Small scale surveys?– EU support?

Appliance & energy consumption demand - - sourced from national & Euro stats.

Stats for electrical system sourced domestic fires- - to date modelled from ad hoc market intelligence:– issue of Brigades’ reporting forms – independent corroboration

needed – need for independent confirmation.



Future plans The next 5 years – Discussion

– Acceptance of the FEEDS conclusions– Use of combined data to convince EC Regulators to support

Market Intelligence initiative– Interim small scale surveys to Pilot these studies pulling

together available information• National Brigade intelligence [corroborating anecdotal / modelling]• EU/ national electrical contractor input• Web use [eg DIIGO / Leonardo ENERGY] for Market Intelligence

– Development of a joint Fire Brigade/ Electrical Contractor programme to communicate the message:

“Periodic Inspection undertaken every 10 years will reduce Domestic fires of electrical origin.”

• Support regulatory development in progress• Address home owners/ users/ proprietors to carry out PI and any

subsequent renovation work necessary.
