Full Description

This part of IEC 62561 deals with the requirements and tests for metallic and non-metallic conductor fasteners that are used to retain and support the air-termination, down-conductor and earth-termination systems.

This document does not cover the fixing of conductor fasteners to the fabric of structures due to the vast number and types used in modern day construction.

Testing of components for an explosive atmosphere is not covered by this document. Extra requirements for the components can be necessary for LSCs intended for use in hazardous atmospheres.

NOTE In CENELEC member countries, testing requirements of components for explosive atmospheres are specified in CLC/TS 50703-2.
