Ensure all systems are in safe working order with annual test inspections.
Lightning Protection testing and maintenance is essential to ensuring lightning protection and earthing systems are kept in full working order, allowing your structure, staff and general public to be kept safe from lightning strikes.
System Inspections
In order to continue to be compliant and safe BMC Specialist Services can visually inspect lightning protection systems during the installation process, once installation is complete and again each time an alteration is made. Any lightning protection system must be in accordance with the British Standards Code of Practice 6652:1999, BSEN 62305-2011 and NF C 17 102-2011.
Lightning Protection Testing
BMC Specialist Services can complete testing on any lightning protection system to ensure the yearly safety of the system and make sure it is kept up to standards. These tests should be completed regularly and shouldn’t be left with more than 12 months in-between. BMC Specialist Services recommends lightning protection testing takes place every 11 months to keep up with seasonal changes.
Recording Testing & Maintenance
All inspections and testing of any lightning system should be properly recorded, as BMC Specialist Services can complete all the necessary tests and inspections, we keep a detailed log of any testing we complete as well as the necessary detailed drawings.
