What is an LPS Inspection Report?

The LPS (Lightning Protection System) Inspection Report is a technical document required by law that certifies whether your building’s protection system complies with the ABNT NBR 5419 standard. More than a bureaucratic requirement, it is the guarantee that your structure will withstand an atmospheric discharge without risking lives, insurance validity, or the integrity of critical electronics.

Engineering Technical Note: Unlike merely visual inspections, the LPS Reports issued by A3A Engenharia de Sistemas strictly follow the 4 parts of NBR 5419. This ensures your report is a technical guarantee accepted by insurers and regulatory bodies.

Who can sign an LPS Inspection Report?

The report must be prepared by a Registered Electrical Engineer. This professional must possess specific knowledge about lightning protection systems and be familiar with technical standards like NBR 5419 and CREA regulations.

Real Risks: Fines, Insurance Denials, and Equipment Loss

  1. Life and Asset Protection: Ensures the system works to prevent fire and electric shocks.
  2. Insurance Requirement: In case of fire or equipment damage caused by lightning, insurers will demand an updated and conclusive LPS Report. If the report is outdated or incorrect, compensation will be denied.
  3. Maintenance: Allows for identifying wear and tear for preventive actions.

Services Performed During an Inspection

  • Visual Inspection: Checking physical state of air terminals, down-conductors, and grounding electrodes.
  • Grounding Resistance Measurement: Technical tests to ensure current dissipation safety.
  • Equipotential Bonding Analysis: Ensuring internal systems are protected against indirect surges.

“The LPS Report is not just an engineering document; it is a business continuity policy. At A3A Engenharia, we guarantee your compliance with NBR 5419, shielding your assets from legal and financial risks.”

— Eng. Altair Galvão
