Double_J-
Yeah. It is. Came in January this year.
Just passed my 18th Edition test. 98% mark.
So, are you in a high lighting strike area?

I would suggest your electrician is taking the piss.
a) 18th came in Jan 2019. They should be holding a C&G Cert to say they have passed already.
b) BS7671 534 is the area of surge protection. Single dwelling (domestic) units require surge protection in high lightning strike areas and/or value and equipment of installation.
Lightning in the UK is highest in the tip of SE England and lessens as you move toward NW Scotland as a general rule.

Also. Surge Protection.
Are you living in a high lighting strike area?
