Comprehensive lightning protec-
tion can only achieved through
a coordinated approach.5. These, turn, can categorised
into the following systems and measures:
• Air-termination systems
• Conductors
• Earthing systems
• Area shielding
• Separation distance
• Lightning protection equipotential bonding
These systems must carefully selected for the ap-
plication hand and used coordinated way.
A lightning and surge protection system consists of
several systems, each tailored each the others.1 Lightning and surge protection standards
When planning and executing lightning protection
system, necessary observe all relevant national
annexes and take account any special circum-
stances applications and the safety stipulations in
the relevant state-specific supplements.

Chapter General introduction
.
At its most basic, lightning and surge protection sys-
tem consists one internal and one external lightning
protection system. The supple-
mentary sheets the international IEC guidelines and
harmonised European versions the various country-
specific translations often contain additional informat-
ive information specific the country question.
Product standards
To ensure that the components can withstand the
loads which they are likely exposed applic-
ation, they must checked against the respective
product standard for external and internal lightning
protection.TBS
