    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    IEC 62561-2:2018 specifies the requirements and tests for:
    - metallic conductors (other than "natural" conductors) that form part of the air-termination and down-conductor systems,
    - metallic earth electrodes that form part of the earth-termination system.
    This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
    This edition includes the following significant technical change with respect to the previous edition:
    a) Tables 2 and 4 have been merged into one Table (Table 2).
    b) Figure 2 showing the coating measurement of a plate conductor has been added
    The contents of the corrigendum of August 2019 have been included in this copy.
