Version 07 of Book 1 of the RGIE was set by the royal decree of 13 August 2026, published in the Belgian Official Gazette (Moniteur belge) on 15 September 2026. It has applied since 1 November 2026.

The end of RCD sealing

Until now, after a compliant inspection of a domestic installation, the RCD at the head of the installation was sealed. Version 07 removes this obligation. The RCD remains mandatory; only the seal disappears.

What does not change

  • A main RCD of 300 mA at most at the origin of the domestic installation.
  • 30 mA protection at most, at least for non-dedicated sockets, lighting, bathrooms and showers, the washing machine, the tumble dryer and the dishwasher, with at most 8 circuits per 30 mA RCD.
  • At most 8 socket outlets per circuit, a fixed appliance counting as one outlet, and at least two lighting circuits beyond two rooms.
  • Up-to-date single-line diagrams and position plans, signed and dated.

The files prepared for the inspection remain the same. Simply check that your documents and your software cite the right version of the regulation.
