CorrectAnswer:

8. Are there any additional measurements or inspections required (surge protective devices, bonding of metallic infrastructure within the side flash distance of the LPS, antenna masts, etc.)?

Typically, the contractor performing the maintenance and visual inspections of the LPS Answer:

handles the assessment. However, it's the certifier's responsibility to identify any anomalies leading to a negative certification and to communicate these deficiencies, which would then result in a potentially negative certification.

9. Do inspection reports only need to include out-of-compliance measurements or do the customer require tabulated bonding measurements for each air terminal?

The certification must specify the reference regulations, test date, ohmmeter calibration Answer:

date, and the resistivity value for each individual measurement point along with the location where the resistivity values were taken.
