The need for this International Standard has arisen due to the
of electrical & electronic system, caused by Electro Magnetic effects of
Lightning. because, milli- joules of
Energy is sufficient to cause damage, whereas lightning flashes releases
Hundreds of mega joules of energy..

keep to the recommended line length of ≤ 0.25 m to the

devices should not be connected with a spur line, but in a V-shape.
Take care to run the outgoing and return lines as far apart as possible.
