The new rules will operate a dual system, with clubs in European competition having to adhere to Uefa's SCR limit of 70% - so a club could be sanctioned by Uefa but be compliant in the Premier League. The Premier League has added some wriggle room, too, with a multi-year rolling allowance of 30% that permits clubs to spend beyond the limit. Think of it this way - every club will start next season on 85% + 30% allowance, so effectively 115%. Any clubs that spend above 85% will face a fine, but they would need to be in excess of 115% to lose points. If a club spend less that 85%, they can increase the allowance again to the maximum of 30%.
