Lightning Protection System Recertification
Confidence for Audits, Insurers, and Operations
A system installed correctly five, ten, or twenty years ago isn't necessarily a system that still performs today. Facilities change, components age, and — sometimes without anyone realizing it — unauthorized modifications creep in over the years. Recertification is how you close that gap between assumed protection and verified protection, with documentation to back it up.
Many facilities require documented proof that critical protection systems remain functional, especially in regulated or high-risk industries where an assumption isn't good enough for an auditor, an insurer, or a board. LEC's system recertification services provide that assurance, backed by the same engineering rigor as a new installation.
What Recertification Confirms
- Design conformity. DAS® units remain installed per the original design.
- Grounding performance. Grounding systems remain within acceptable performance ranges.
- System integrity. No unauthorized modifications have compromised system effectiveness.
- Component replacement. Any damaged components are replaced with new parts meeting design specifications.
When Recertification Makes Sense
- After a major storm event or any suspected lightning strike near the facility
- Following facility renovations, additions, or changes to the roofline or structure
- As part of a scheduled interval tied to your insurance, regulatory, or internal risk requirements
- Ahead of an audit, ownership change, or insurance renewal where documentation will be reviewed
Who Benefits
For operators, recertification supports operational continuity and peace of mind between major inspections. For insurers, regulators, and other stakeholders, it provides independent, engineering-backed confidence that lightning risk mitigation remains fully intact, not just installed once and forgotten.
Documented Assurance
Recertification gives auditors, insurers, and risk managers a clear, dated record that your lightning protection system continues to meet LEC's engineering standards — backed by more than 150 years of combined field experience.
