IEC 62561-2:2025 specifies the requirements and tests for - metallic conductors (other than "natural" conductors) that form part of the air-termination and down-conductor systems, and - metallic earth electrodes that form part of the earth-termination system. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2018. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) definitions of new conductor types mentioned in this document have been added; b) the document has been updated in line with IEC 60068-2-52:2017 on salt mist treatment; c) the document has been updated in line with ISO 22479:2019 on humid sulphurous atmosphere treatment; d) a new normative Annex H for material, configuration and cross-sectional area test has been introduced; e) a new normative Annex I for applicability of previous tests has been introduced. f) equipotential earth grid has been introduced.
