Specifically, it covers SPDs designed for use in power supply systems of buildings and similar applications with rated voltages up to 1.000 V AC and 1.500 V DC.

The standard defines the characteristics of SPDs, including the rated discharge current, voltage protection level, and response time. It also specifies test procedures and criteria for evaluating the performance of SPDs under various surge conditions such as lightning strikes and switching surges.

The purpose of this standard is to ensure that SPDs provide effective protection against surge voltage events that can damage or destroy sensitive electronic equipment and cause safety hazards.

Compliance with this standard is important for surge arrester manufacturers and users to ensure that their products are reliable and effective in protecting against surge events.
