DESCRIPTION:AS 1768 was updated in December 2021 and is now aligned with th
 e IEC lightning & surge protection standards. These documents detail requi
 rements for the design\, installation\, maintenance\, and testing of light
 ning protection on common structures\, and surge protection for low-voltag
 e electrical and electronic systems within those structures. The update in
 cluded a number of changes that have had a significant impact on the way i
 n which lightning and surge protection systems are specified and designed 
 here in Australia. This seminar will outline these changes and provide the
  attendees with the skills to undertake lightning protection risk assessme
 nts\, write specifications\, and complete detailed lightning protection de
 signs. Further details are provided on the next page.\n\nSpeaker(s): Bill\
