According to the NF C 15-100 regulation (1911 -> 2002), a general RCD not exceeding 100 to 300{{nbsp}}mA at the origin of the installation is mandatory. Moreover, all circuits must also include 30{{nbsp}}mA protections in the user's [[distribution board]], with each RCD protecting up to 8 [[circuit breakers]], usually on the same [[DIN rail]] (electric panels of 1 to 4 DIN rails are the norm for residential). Before 1991, this 30{{nbsp}}mA protection was mandatory only in rooms where there is water, high power or sensitive equipment (bathrooms, kitchens, IT...).<ref name="NF_C_15-100 Evolution">{{cite web |title=NF C 15-100 evolution (in French) |date=23 January 2025 |url=https://izi-by-edf.fr/blog/nfc-15-100-elaboration/#L%E2%80%99evolution_de_la_norme_NFC_15-100}}</ref> The type of RCD required (A, AC, F) depends upon the type of the equipment that will be connected and the maximum power of the socket outlet. Minimal distances between electrical devices and water or the floor are described and mandatory.
