Lightning protection system components (LPSC) - Part 7: Requirements for earthing enhancing compounds
IEC 62561-7:2018 specifies the requirements and tests for earthing enhancing compounds producing low resistance of an earth termination system.This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) information concerning the execution of the test for the determination of the resistivity in 5.4.3;b) addition of Annex A for the assessment of the corrosion load.

IEC 62561-7:2024 specifies the requirements and tests for earthing enhancing compounds producing low resistance of an earth termination system. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Figure A.1 has been replaced with a simpler one that clearly shows the high and low corrosion load limits of the earth enhancing compounds without the need for special knowledge; b) pH measurement has been introduced.
The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
