Abstract :
This paper presents the new IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) standard (IEC 62858) on lightning density based on Lightning Location Systems (LLS) which has been prepared by IEC TC81 (Lightning Protection) WG12 (Lightning Flash Density based on Lightning Location Systems), and is now submitted to vote among National Committees. The lightning flash density NG, so important in Lightning Protection standards for risk assessment calculations, should be replaced by the more suitable lightning strike-point density NSG. A factor 2 is proposed to relate NG to NSG.
