Bibliography

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.
