Aplicaciones Tecnológicas has attended the XIII International Symposium on Lightning Protection (SIPDA) 2015, held in Balneário Camboriú (Brazil) between the 28th September and the 2nd October.
From the 26th to the 30th of October, several meetings were hold in Athens (Greece) of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) groups that are in charge of re-viewing the 4 parts of the lightning protection standard IEC 62305 (General principles, Risk management, Physical damage to structures and life hazard, Electrical and electronic systems within structures).
Standards assert that the good condition of a lightning protection system should be ensured over time. Therefore the standard UNE 21.186:2011 establishes, depending on the protection level of the installation, different periodicities for visual and complete inspection.
Offering the right product for different industrial sectors, achieving that such product is suitable for the chosen lightning protection solution, is more complex than it first appears, since key factors for the safety of persons, services and goods are involved.
