Frequently asked questions about Lightning Protection
How often should lightning protection be tested?
BS EN 62305 recommends annual testing and visual inspection. Some insurers and building types (e.g. hospitals, schools) may require more frequent testing. Critical systems should be tested after any known lightning strike.
What earth resistance is acceptable?
BS EN 62305 recommends an earth resistance of 10 ohms or less for each earth electrode. Higher values may be acceptable depending on the risk assessment, but remedial work is usually recommended.
