LIGHTNING CONDUCTOR TESTING

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 require that lightning protection systems are tested regularly in accordance with BS6651 or BS EN 62305, whichever is applicable to your system. This standard states system should be tested at maximum intervals of 12 months.

OUR EXPERTISE

We recommend your system is tested at intervals of 11 inspection and testing months, meaning across a 12-year period your system will have been tested throughout every season of the year.

Applying this tried and tested method will allow the effect of seasonal variations in resistance or other characteristics of the system to be taken into account.

Your system will last for many years if properly installed and maintained, maximising the return on your investment.

Norwood UK has experienced engineers and technicians nationwide within the UK with access to the latest test and measurement equipment.
