 BS EN 62305 – 2 Insurance Claims

• According to the ABI figures the UK Insurance Industry pays out on average
£8.65 Billion a year in Commercial & Domestic claims (2007-2015)

• Of those claims electrical and electronic damage makes up nearly 11%

equivalent to £946M

• There is no reason to assume the UK differs that greatly from the EU figures
so 31% of this can be ‘assumed’ to lightning & surge related

• Approximately £295M in paid claims every year

• The UK lightning protection & surge protection industry generates

approximately £65m per year in turnover

 Sources of damage

BS EN 62305-2
Source of
Lightning current is the primary source of damage. damage

The following sources are distinguished by the strike attachment point:

S1: Flashes to a structure

S2: Flashes near a structure

S3: Flashes to a line

S4: Flashes near a line

D1: Injury to living beings damage

due to touch and step voltage – electric shock

D2: Physical damage

(fire, explosion, mechanical destruction, release of
chemicals) due to lightning effects including sparking

 Types of loss

BS EN 62305-2
“Each type of damage, alone or in combination with others, Source of
may produce a different consequential loss in the object to damage

be protected. The type of loss that may appear depends on the

characteristics of the object itself and its content. Type of
