IEC 62305-3 Lightning Protection, Part 3: Standard Test for Physical Damage and Life Hazard to Structures

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of IEC 62305-3 standard. IEC 62305-3 provides requirements for the protection of a structure against physical damage by means of a lightning protection system (LPS) and protection against injury to living things due to contact and step voltages around an LPS.

IEC 62305-3 Lightning Protection, Part 3: Standard Test for Physical Damage and Life Hazard to Structures

This part of IEC 62305 deals with protection against physical damage and injury to living things from touch and step voltages in and around a structure.

Lightning protection system (LPS) is thought to be the basic and most effective measure for the protection of buildings against physical damage. It usually consists of both external and internal lightning protection systems.

The type and location of an LPS should be carefully considered in the initial design of a new structure so that maximum advantage is gained from the electrically conductive parts of the structure. By doing this, the design and construction of an integrated installation is made easier, the overall aesthetic aspects can be improved, and the effectiveness of the LPS can be increased with minimal cost and effort.

Access to the ground and proper use of the foundation steel structure to create an effective soil termination may well be impossible once construction work has begun on a site. Therefore, soil resistance and the nature of the soil should be considered at the earliest possible stage of a project. This information is essential for the design of an earth-termination system and may affect the basic design work for the structure.
