Not at all. The Sans regulation stipulates that no installation should have a drop of more than 5% from mean. Down to about 210V is spot on. ISP can drop it to protect the system as all resistive loads will use less amps. 

Many rural lines only provide 200V and lower and that  can damage motors in aircons and fridges.
