Lightning protection is a safety system, and its testing and maintenance is as important as your buildings fire alarms, smoke detectors and other safety systems that aim to protect against the loss of human life and damage to the structure.
The lightning protection standard (BS EN 62305-1:2006 Protection against Lightning: General Principles) states that:
“Tests should be repeated at fixed intervals, preferably not exceeding 12 months; it may be advantageous to choose a period slightly shorter than 12 months to vary the seasons in which tests are made.”
