| BSI | 2012 | 28 |
This part of IEC 62561 specifies the requirements and tests for metallic connection components that form part of a lightning protection system (LPS). Typically, these can be connectors, bonding and bridging components, expansion pieces and test joints.
Testing of components for an explosive atmosphere is not covered by this standard.
