What is PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 about?
PD CLC/TS 50703 discusses Lightning Protection System Components (LPSC). PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 is an international standard that provides specific testing requirements for LPSC.
PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 is the second part of a multi-part series that specifies requirements and tests relevant to Lightning Protection System Components suitable for explosive atmospheres.
Note 1: Under PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 EX-LPS Components that are certified according to EN 60079 series are not covered.
Note 2: Under PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 if a product has already been tested according to ATEX, it does not have to be tested again.
Who is PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 for?
PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 on specific testing requirements is relevant to:
- LPS components manufacturers
- LPS components suppliers
- LPS developers
Why should you use PD CLC/TS 50703‑2?
A lightning protection system is used to protect structures from fire or mechanical destruction to prevent any harm to persons in the building.
An overall LPS consists of external lightning protection and internal lightning protection.
Specific testing requirements under PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 assist in testing components of the lightning protection system to improvise and build an efficient system.
PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 assist in meeting all the requirements that are required while building components of a lightning protection system thus, reducing damages due to inefficient systems.
PD CLC/TS 50703‑2 guides the user in building efficient components of a lightning protection system that can reduce damages incurred due to inefficient lightning protection systems.
An efficient LPS can protect against internal and external lighting and thus can reduce the occurrence of damages due to fire or mechanical destruction.
