ᐅ Conduits for Satellite and Telecommunications: Mandatory or Not in New Construction?

Hello,
I am unsure whether it is mandatory for the builder (prefabricated house) to install SAT and telecommunications cables (future-proof) in empty conduits or not.
Or does this requirement only apply from the handover point to the first main distribution point within the house (DSL modem, SAT multiswitch, etc.) and not to the individual outlets?
I found DIN 18015, but how should it be interpreted?

Why should that be mandatory? It’s not safety-related but a luxury Did I say anything about it being “safety-related”? I just gave examples.
Apparently, having 5 electrical outlets from 20 square meters (215 square feet) onward is also mandatory. Are those “safety-related”? Probably not, right?
You could also classify that as a “luxury,” yet it’s still required (even if it’s not mentioned in the building specification...).
Notice something? ;-)
But there are also people here who really want and can help, thanks for that.

It is supposedly mandatory to have 5 power outlets starting from 20 sqm (215 sq ft), No… for what? For which rooms? That is not correct. There is no requirement to plan a certain number of power outlets per sqm (sq ft). Even living spaces do not have this obligation.

Even living areas do not have this obligation. Isn’t that then mandatory?
What standards exist for electrical outlets in houses?
Where should outlets be planned in new buildings? According to DIN 18015-2 / RAL-RG 678 Equipment Level 1 (basic equipment), the following rooms
- Kitchens,
- Living rooms,
- Bedrooms,
- Guest rooms, and
- Offices
should each have 5 outlets if the room is larger than 20 sqm (approximately 215 sq ft). For smaller rooms such as bathrooms, 4 outlets are sufficient, as well as for utility rooms, dining rooms, and hobby rooms.
Once again: a standard is not mandatory.

Plan to install 5 power outlets in each case if the room is larger than 20 m² (215 sq ft). In 98% of all single-family house cases, this applies to a living/dining room, where everyone “voluntarily” already has more power outlets.
