1 Scope

This document specifies the requirements and tests for components used for electrically insulated LPS. These components, which can reduce the separation distance, are as follows:

• insulating stand-offs, used in conjunction with an air-termination system and down-conductors with the aim of maintaining the proper separation distance;

• insulating down-conductors, including their specific fasteners.

Testing of insulating stand-offs and insulating down-conductor components for an explosive atmosphere is not covered by this document.
