Brief description

DVGW Information GAS No. 17 serves as a guideline for operators to assess and specify lightning protection measures for gas supply systems. This is intended to enable the operator to determine the requirements for lightning protection systems on a system-specific basis and to implement the resulting lightning protection measures. This DVGW Information GAS No. 17 provides information on the implementation of lightning protection requirements in accordance with DIN EN 62305 (VDE 0185-305) for systems in gas and hydrogen transportation and distribution systems as well as for systems supplying trade, industry or comparable facilities. Lightning protection measures serve to protect people and to protect structures and technical equipment against the effects of lightning.
