TSC-0912 - 09.10.12
Passing the test
Each part of BS EN 50164 defines its own criteria for
satisfactory performance of components.
All three specimens of a tested component must satisfy
the conditions set out by BS EN 50164 in order for the
testing to be deemed successful.
Following testing, a full test report with certification
should be produced by the independent laboratory for
all components satisfying the test criteria.
BS EN 50164 requires manufacturers to retain the
test report along with adequate documentation to
support testing and product application, including
installation instructions.
Furse component performance
By choosing lightning protection components
conforming to the BS EN 50164 series, the designer
ensures he or she is using the best products on the
market and is in compliance with BS EN 62305.
Furse structural lightning protection and earthing
components are therefore rigorously tested to this
standard. Our connection components conform to
BS EN 50164-1, our conductors and earth electrodes
to BS EN 50164-2.
Through independent testing, Furse products are
proven to withstand the constant exposure to the
environment as required by an LPS, thereby ensuring
they will continue to dissipate lightning current safely
and harmlessly to earth over the long term.
All Furse connection components
are designed to conform to the
BS EN 50164-1:2008 test procedures
