Lightning protection system components (LPSC) - Part 2: Requirements for conductors and earth electrodes
IEC 62561-2:2018 specifies the requirements and tests for:
- metallic conductors (other than "natural" conductors) that form part of the air-termination and down-conductor systems,
- metallic earth electrodes that form part of the earth-termination system.
