– IEC 62561 : Lightning Protection Components :

This series of standards is a « product » standard describing the technical characteristics which the various components for protection against lightning have to respect. The series is divided into 7 standardised volumes for different products:

• IEC 62561-1 : Requirements for connection components
• IEC 62561-2 : Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes
• IEC 62561-3 : Requirements for isolating spark gaps
• IEC 62561-4 : Requirements for conductor fastenings
• IEC 62561-5 : Requirements for earth electrode inspection housings and earth electrode seals
• IEC 62561-6 : Requirements for lightning strike counters
• IEC 62561-7 : Requirements for earth enhancing compounds

– EN 62305 : Protection against lightning :

This series of standards is divided into 4 volumes and first explains the general principles of lightning, then a gives a method for the evaluation of risks. The third volume describes the rules for the installation of lightning protection systems protecting people and buildings; the final volume proposes protection measures to reduce the risks of network and communication failure:

• IEC/EN 62305-1 : General principles
• IEC/EN 62305-2 : Risk evaluation
• IEC/EN 62305-3 : Physical damage to structures and life hazard
• IEC/EN 62305-4 : Electrical and electronic systems within structures
