ᐅ Regarding the final inspection: does this comply with the electrical standards according to the relevant DIN norm?

Elwood62Hello everyone,
in April, the inspection of my semi-detached house, which I purchased from the developer, is scheduled.
The construction description states the following:
Installation carried out according to DIN 18015-1+2 (electrical system) + standard-enhancing basic installations (“standard equipment” as described in DIN 18015 Part 2)
Maybe someone knows whether this rather amateurish installation for LAN and satellite complies with the DIN standard (see attached).
Or should this be inside the distribution box?
I would appreciate any advice.
Best regards

Is the patch panel grounded? I don’t see anything indicating that.
Otherwise, this is a standard setup like in thousands of homes. What I actually like is the downward-facing patch panel, as it prevents dust from falling into the ports. There is also space to mount devices.
What I don’t see is a fiber optic connection or a telephone socket. Where is this hidden?

Thanks for the quick and knowledgeable answers!
The fiber optic modem from the telecom company is still on its way (very closely monitored).
I hadn't even considered the equipotential bonding. I will definitely raise that with the electrician.
And if I understood correctly, placing it outside the electrical cabinet is common practice, which I hadn’t expected.
Alright, then everything is answered. Thank you very much!

If you want a proper network cabinet, you need to plan it early and coordinate the interface with the electrician. This is usually not possible with volume builders.Similar topics
