What is BS EN IEC 62561-7 - LPSC requirements for earthing enhancing compounds about?
BS EN IEC 62561-7 is the seventh part of the multi-series standard that is applicable to lightning protection system components.
BS EN IEC 62561-7 specifies the requirements and tests for earthing enhancing compounds producing low resistance of an earth termination system.
Who is BS EN IEC 62561-7 - LPSC requirements for earthing enhancing compounds for?
BS EN IEC 62561-7 on LPSC requirements for earthing enhancing compounds is useful for:
- Construction industries
- Manufacturers and suppliers of lightning protection system
- Civil engineers
- Building contractors
- Testing laboratories of LPSC
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62561-7 - LPSC requirements for earthing enhancing compounds?
A lightning protection system helps your building from lightning strikes.
Earthing enhancing compounds are designed and constructed that in normal use their performance is reliable and without danger to persons and the surrounding environment. The choice of a material depends on its ability to match the requirements of a particular application.
BS EN IEC 62561-7 provides general requirements for laboratory test reports. This will help you to promote clear, complete reporting procedures of test reports.
Overall, BS EN IEC 62561-7 will help you with the requirements and tests for earthing enhancing compounds as being a lightning protection system component (LPSC) design and implemented according to BS EN IEC 62305 (all parts).
