2- Installation of the IEPF (External Lightning Protection Installation)
Prior to the implementation of the IEPF, a risk assessment and project design must be carried out.
The installation must comply with standard NFC 17-102:2011 to the exclusion of any local standards. The installer is responsible for the application of any local standard that contradicts NFC 17-102:2011.
The early streamer emission (ESE) lightning rod must be installed at the highest point of the structure. It must be the highest point in the area to be protected (at least 2 m above the area it protects, including antennas, cooling towers, tanks, etc.).
