Scope

This part of EN 62305 provides the requirements for protection of a structure against physica l damage by means of a lightning protection system (LPS), and for protection against injury to living beings due to touch and step voltages in the vicinity of an LPS (see -1 ). This standard is applicable to: a) design, installation, inspection and maintenance of an LPS for structures without limitation of their height, b) establishment of measures for protection against injury to living beings due to touch and step voltages.
