The changes have not yet entered into force, although there are already controversies from installers regarding leaving many issues unanswered. It is a question of determining which buildings and buildings are concerned, resulting from regulations and other implementing regulations, and most installers have a problem with the interpretation whether a given building structure is subject to new regulations.
