This part provides information for the design, installation, inspection, maintenance and testing of a LEMP protection measures system (LPMS) for electrical and electronic systems within a structure, able to reduce the risk of permanent failures due to lightning electromagnetic impulse.
This part does not cover protection against electromagnetic interference due to lightning, which may cause malfunctioning of electronic systems. However, the information reported in Annex A can also be used to evaluate such disturbances. Protection measures against electromagnetic interference are covered in IEC 60364-4-44 and in the IEC 61000 series[1]1)。
This part provides guidelines for cooperation between the designer of the electrical and electronic system, and the designer of the protection measures, in an attempt to achieve optimum protection effectiveness.
This part does not deal with detailed design of the electrical and electronic systems themselves.

3 Terms and Definitions
For the purposes of this part of GB/T 21714, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
Electrical system
System incorporating low voltage power supply components.
3.2
Electronic system
System incorporating sensitive electronic components such as communication equipment, computer, control and instrumentation systems, radio systems, power electronic installations.
3.3
Internal system
Electrical and electronic systems within a structure.
3.4
Lightning electromagnetic impulse
LEMP
Electromagnetic effects of lightning current.
Note: It includes conducted surges as well as radiated impulse electromagnetic field effects.
