EN 62561-1:2012 - 2 - Foreword The text of document 81/416/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC 62561-1, prepared by IEC/TC 81, "Lightning protection", was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and approved by CENELEC as EN 62561-1:2012. A draft amendment, which covers common modifications to IEC 62561-1 (81/416/FDIS), was prepared by CLC/TC 81X "Lightning protection" and approved by CENELEC. The following dates are fixed: – latest date by which this document has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2013-03-16 – latest date by which the national standards conflicting with this document have to be withdrawn (dow) 2015-03-16 This document supersedes EN 50164-1:2008. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Clauses, subclauses, notes, tables, figures and annexes which are additional to those in IEC 62561-1:2012 are prefixed “Z”.

COMMON MODIFICATIONS Whole document Replace all references to IEC 62305 by references to EN 62305. Replace all references to IEC 62561 by references to EN 62561. 4 Classification After 4.2, add the following: 4.Z1 Classification is also made according to its mechanical behaviour for connectors: a) declared to withstand static mechanical load 900 N; b) not intended to carry static mechanical load. 6 Tests Replace the whole 6.4 by the following: 6.4 Static mechanical test 6.4.Z1 General The static mechanical test is specifically applicable to the configurations B2/B3/B7 as shown in Annex B. For other applications, it is neither practical nor necessary to carry out static mechanical tests and is therefore not a requirement. For specific applications such as connectors embedded in concrete, it is not required to carry out mechanical tests. The test shall be performed with all conductor materials permitted according to the manufacturer's declaration. To minimize the number of tests, connectors that are used with several different conductor materials shall be performed using stainless steel. Any connector with a connection range equal to or less than 2 mm shall be tested on the minimum conductor size recommended. If the connection range is greater than 2 mm it shall be tested on the minimum and maximum size of conductor recommended. 6.4.Z2 Test procedure A second set of 3 new connectors shall be arranged according to the manufacturer's or supplier's installation instructions with the recommended conductor materials, sizes and tightening torques. Each conductor of the specimen assemblies shall be subjected independently to a mechanical tensile force of 900 N ± 20 N for 1 min.
The connection component is deemed to have passed the test if there is less than 1 mm movement of the conductor during the test and no damage on the connector or conductor. Annexes Annex C (normative) Conditioning/ageing for connection components In C.1, replace twice "IEC 60068-2-52:1996" by "EN 60068-2-52:1996". SIST EN 62561-1:2012

LIGHTNING PROTECTION SYSTEM COMPONENTS (LPSC) –
Part 1: Requirements for connection components
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 recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 62561-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 81: Lightning protection. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 81/416/FDIS 81/422A/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table. This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The content of this part of IEC 62561 is taken from European Standard EN 50164-1. SIST EN 62561-1:2012
