  1. FEEDSForum for European Electrical Domestic Safety 6th EΦA ROUNDTABLE January 31st 2008

  2. Content . • Why FEEDS? • Activity and results over the past 5 years • What do we know? • The next 5 years • Discussion

  3. 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.

  4. FEEDS background • National electrical safety programmes • 8 EU state pilot review of domestic electrical safety • 1st Pan-European FEEDS conference – recognition of: • The extent of the problem • The need to address regulatory / statutory change • 2nd Pan European FEEDS conference • Presentation of the “Addressing dangerous electrical installations throughout Europe” report.

  5. FEEDS POSITIONING PAPER - EXTENSIVE Initial analysis 80+ pages Means to strategic definition http://electric-safety.org

  6. FEEDS background • National electrical safety programmes • 8 EU state pilot review of domestic electrical safety • 1st Pan-European FEEDS conference – recognition of: • The extent of the problem • The need to address regulatory / statutory change • 2nd Pan European FEEDS conference • Presentation of the “Addressing dangerous electrical installations throughout Europe” report • EU: • Positioning paper “Towards improved electrical installations in European homes” • Launch of FISUEL [2001]

  7. FEEDS COMMUNICATIONS PAPER :MULTI-USE Ensuring Electrical Safety Towards a culture of safety Service providers Standards& techniques Regulation & costs Conclusions & Recommendations

  8. FEEDS background – Regulatory change • National electrical safety programmes • 8 EU state pilot review of domestic electrical safety • 1st Pan-European FEEDS conference – recognition of: • The extent of the problem of electrically sourced fires • The need to address regulatory / statutory change • 2nd Pan European FEEDS conference • Presentation of the “Addressing dangerous electrical installations throughout Europe” report • EU: • Positioning paper "Towards improved electrical installations in European Homes" • Launch of FISUEL [2001] • National 2000 : • Programmes aiming at influencing regulatory change

  9. Content . • 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

  10. 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

  11. Benelux – from setting objectives to changing the statutes 1996-2005 CDA Benelux agree with SPF to initiate WG review of RGIE SPF Gas-Elec invite electrical sector for CDA Benelux presentation – M. Mignolet Minister SPF presents at FISUEL BELDOSA/ Casa Sicura published Electrical sector demands the BELDOSA safety research [Casa Sicura basis] – CABLEBEL financially support Improving electrical safety publication of report and consumer booklet – credibility and campaign need confirmed Comparative research among users*/ non-users into socket density – define minimum needs in Belgium – introduction of “comfort” campaign Press coverage campaign continues – build of data base Press coverage campaign/ promotion continues – build of data base Start of press coverage campaign Start of AIB-Vincotte & FEDELEC partnership – demand for installation check campaign *“Users” of the AIB-Vincotte / FEDELEC package **“SPF part of Ministry of Trade

  12. France – from setting objectives to changing the statutes 1996-2005 Year Passage to Statutes initiated – finalised by 12.05 Introduction of “Un habitat pour tous” GRESEL established Consumer Associations committed to lobbying Select Committees Agreement on strategy of “awareness” and the consumer voice Media “recruitment” and placement – initial contact with Consumer Associations Agreement on strategy of “awareness” and the consumer voice %

  13. France - GRESEL • Consumer concerns and independent information source • This informal group was created in 2004 gathering CA and professional organisations • Under this new banner, letters were sent to the government, explaining at the same time the error made in the preceding official text and the urgent need to legislate

  14. Germany – e-check: marketing partnerships promoting safety, functionality 1996 - 2005 Year E-check continues E-check continues – now including energy efficiency E-check continues DKI cease investment due to cost of the annual fees DKI continued involvement DKI continued involvement DKI continued involvement DKI continued involvement DKI continued involvement Recruitment and launch of e-check – DKI first investment in the programme %

  15. Italy – from setting objectives to changing the statutes 2000-2005 Year Collaboration with MAP* in development of the statute DPR “Testo unico sull edilizia” 2005/ 2006 Mass Media campaign to communicate survey results Cooperation with Government institutions for an independent survey – start of the MAP* involvement Second survey, CEI and PROSIEL partnership and engagement (FISUEL as well as national commitment) First survey results dissemination Start of Media “recruitment” and of results communication First survey of domestic electrical safety initiated % * Ministero delle Attivitá Produttivi [industry]

  16. Poland – from setting objectives to changing the statutes 2000-2005 Year Adoption by the Society of Electricians of the “Guideline..” as the Society’s statutory standard Testing of the “pre-norm” by the Society of Electricians* Launch of “Guideline for modernising electrical installations” as a “pre-norm” Design & specification projects for the renovation of electrical installations – WGs and TCs debate “Regulator Kit” report published – state of electrical safety in homes (+ Russia, Czech Rep. & Hungary) Continued presence in WGs and TCs relating to upgrading the wiring requirements Initiation of dialogue with the Society of Electricians % * Initially this group was against this “pre-norm”

  17. Spain – from setting objectives to changing the statutes 1996-2005 PRIE press launch November 8th 2005*** FENIE expand/ continue regional campaigns PRIE adopt FEEDS Communications paper FENIE promote regional subsidy campaigns AFME FEEDS participation stimulates the formation of PRIE** All partners involved in the 1st REGUALTOR KIT/FEEDS conference FENIE development of regional partnerships FENIE campaign continues – initial pilot measurement of results Seminar series completed – results assessed – “Libro Azul” project completed Continuation of the seminar series – “Libro Azul” project initiated FENIE promote their Electrical Safety campaign – Annual Congress Developemnt & Catalunyan launch of the seminar series – 6 partners * FENIE adopt CEDIC’s presentation to launch their own Electrical Safety campaign – Annual Congress Leaflet launch – distributed by Local Govt. (Catalunya) , ADAE and CEPREVEN – OCU & Pirelli involvement Research completed - recruitment of CEPREVEN, OCU, ADAE, FENIE & Local Authorities * ADAE – Asociación del Desarrollo de las Aplicaciones de la Electricidad: CEPREVEN (fire prevention): OCU (leading consumer association): Generalitat de Catalunya (local govt.): Cables Pirelli (launching AFUMEX LOHO cable) ***OCU to be the Press Conference moderator ** Platform for the renovation of (domestic) electrical installations

  18. UK – from setting objectives to changing the statutes 1996-2005 Part P of Building Regulations is statutory Introduction of “A decent Homes standard” CIEH involved in ODMP TC CIEH involved in FEEDS & ODPM TC on decent homes IEE guidelines include socket density upgrade CIEH involved in FEEDS CDA cont. involvement in IEE on socket upgrade IEE Guidelines CIEH involved in FEEDS CDA involvement in IEE TCs on socket upgrade linked to BS 7671 CIEH/FPA seminars – RECs continued commitment CDA initiate involvement in IEE TCs on socket upgrade linked to BS 7671 Requirement to recruit CIEH* to enforce “duty of care” – RECs continue committed 1st REC Forum held – addressing the private sector – commitment to promote inspection & renovation Recruitment of Local Authorities, Electrical contractors & FPA – 1st seminars * Chartered Institute of Environmental Health – authorities only access into dwellings under their care, apart from ownership change or invitation was via “ensuring safety at work”

  19. Market intelligence • Why FEEDS? • Activity and results over the past 5 years • What do we know? • Original stats • Eurostat • COI – Central Office of Information: UK • INE – Instituto Nacional de España: Spain • EHLASS - European Home and Leisure Accident Surveillance System • Geneva Association … • “Libro Azul” – CEDIC, Pirelli and AFME • AENOR - El libro azul de la electricidad • ECI Omnibus surveys in 10 countries [16,000] homes • The next 5 years - Discussion

  20. What do we know? Casa Siccura Omnibus survey 2000-2001 - 10 C & EE States – 16 000 homes

  21. Market intelligence • Why FEEDS? • Activity and results over the past 5 years • What do we know? • Original stats • Eurostat • COI – Central Office of Information: UK • INE – Instituto Nacional de España: Spain • EHLASS - European Home and Leisure Accident Surveillance System • Geneva Association … • “Libro Azul” – CEDIC, Pirelli and AFME • AENOR - El libro azul de la electricidad • ECI Omnibus surveys in 10 countries [16,000] homes • Statistical modelling based on National/ EU data extrapolations. • DIIGO - Electrical Safety Network • Leonardo ENERGY - Electrical Safety • The next 5 years - Discussion

  22. Market intelligence

  23. Leonardo Energy – Electrical Safety

  24. 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%

  25. Built after 1970 Built before 1970 1971 - 1980 1946 - 1970 1919 - 1945 <1919 >1980 In Europe 126 millions dwellings are over 30 years old

  26. 70 million dwellings do not comply with safety standards dangerous risky safe

  27. 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%

  28. 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%

  29. Content • Why FEEDS? • Activity and results over the past 5 years • What do we know? • What do we need to know? • The next 5 years - Discussion

  30. 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.

  31. 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.
