The Generic standards for industrial and residential contain definitions: Industrial (from EN 50081-2) Industrial locations are characterized by the existence of one or more of the following conditions: - industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) apparatus are present - heavy inductive or capacitive loads are frequently switched; -currents and associated magnetic fields are high. These are the major contributors to the industrial electromagnetic environment and as such distinguish the industrial from other environments.
Residential, commercial and light industry (from EN 50082-1) The environments encompassed by this standard are residential, commercial and light-industrial locations, both indoor and outdoor. The following list, although not comprehensive, gives an indication of locations which are included: - residential properties, e.g. houses, apartments; -retail outlets, e.g. shops, supermarkets;' -business premises, e.g. offices, banks; -areas of public entertainment, e.g. cinemas, public bars, dance halls; -outdoor locations, e.g. petrol-stations, car parks, amusement and sports centres; -light -industrial locations, e.g. workshops, laboratories, service centres. Locations which are characterized by being supplied directly at low voltage from the public mains network are considered to be residential, commercial or light industrial. How's that??

Is there an official definition? If so, where can I obtain it?
