At a critical IBC code development session, our team played a central role in opposing proposed changes advanced by National Lightning Protection, a company advocating for the inclusion of Early Streamer Emission (ESE) technology under IBC compliance. If adopted, these changes would have represented a significant departure from scientifically validated and widely accepted lightning protection practices.
With a firm commitment to safety, engineering integrity, and code consistency, we presented clear, data-backed arguments against the proposal. Our stance was supported by technical expertise, decades of industry research, and a coalition of professionals committed to maintaining rigorous standards within the IBC framework.
The result was a decisive win for code integrity and public safety.
In short: We came. We saw. We kicked the French Standards’ a**.
