Lightning protection system components (LPSC) - Part 4: Requirements for conductor fasteners
IEC 62561-4:2010 deals with the requirements and tests for metallic and non-metallic conductor fasteners that are used in conjunction with the air termination, down conductor and earth termination system. This standard does not cover the fixing of conductor fasteners to the fabric/membrane/gravel roofing of structures due to the vast number and types used in modern day construction. LPSC may also be suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres. Regard should then be taken of the extra requirements necessary for the components to be installed in such conditions.
Blitzschutzsystembauteile (LPSC) - Teil 4: Anforderungen an Leitungshalter
Composants de système de protection contre la foudre (CSPF) - Partie 4: Exigences pour les fixations de conducteur
La CEI 62561-4:2010 spécifie les exigences et les essais pour les supports métalliques et non métalliques de conducteur qui sont employés avec des dispositifs de capture, des conducteurs de descente et des prises de terre. La présente norme ne traite pas la fixation des supports sur les structures d'édifice/membrane/toiture gravillonnée en raison des nombreuses solutions modernes de construction. Les CSPF peuvent aussi être employés dans des atmosphères dangereuses. Dans ce cas, il convient de veiller à ce que les caractéristiques des composants soient en adéquation avec ces conditions.
Zahteve za elemente sistema za zaščito pred strelo (LPSC) - 4. del: Zahteve za pritrdilne elemente (IEC 62561-4:2010, spremenjen)
Ta mednarodni standard določa zahteve in preskuse za kovinske in nekovinske pritrdilne elemente strelovodov, ki se uporabljajo v povezavi s strelovodno zaščito in spodnjim delom strelovoda, preskusov za pritrjevanje pritrdilnih elementov strelovodov na tkane/membranske/peščene strehe zgradb zaradi velikega števila in vrst, ki se uporabljajo v sodobni gradnji, pa ta standard ne zajema.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendatio
