Testing capabilities

Earthing and surge-device electrical methods

The scope lists earthing-rod coating thickness/resistivity and Class I surge-protection or varistor stability, operating/additional duty, high-current, charge-transfer, reference-voltage and energy-withstand tests under specific methods.

Exposure and mechanical component tests

Lightning/earthing component methods include salt mist or cyclic salt mist, humid sulphurous atmosphere, contact resistance, loosening torque, defined axial/lateral/static mechanical or housing loads and an earth-electrode watertight-housing seal test.

Equipment and published limits

SpecificationPublished valueConditions
Selected electrical conditionsReference voltage 100 V–3.3 kV at 1–10 mA; energy withstand peak current 1000 A with 2–3 ms rectangular pulsesThe figures are separate specified SPD/varistor methods, not a universal surge-current or voltage envelope.
Selected exposure conditionsSalt-mist chamber 150 L; cyclic row maximum +40°C and 98% RHThese exposure figures remain attached to the listed product/method rows. Maximum temperature and humidity are not promised for every method or loading condition.

Standards and accreditation

UKAS 10794 — ISO/IEC 17025:2017
Issue 011 dated 16 March 2026 is address-only for named earthing/SPD/lightning products and methods, including specified 62561 clauses and internal methods based on stated standards. Withdrawn/superseded editions remain qualified.

What to confirm with the facility

  • Salt-mist, energy-withstand, reference-voltage, torque and load figures belong to separate product/method rows. The lateral/axial mechanical row is restricted to the stated metallic/composite copper-alloy condition; the schedule is not a universal whole-system lightning qualification.
  • Confirm exact component/material, method clauses/edition, fixture, load or pulse conditions, accredited report scope, availability and quotation.
