SEFTIM Technical Sponsorship

In addition to our daily work for lightning & surge protection and EMC studies and inspections, we are involved at SEFTIM in the development of the associated technics as well as in people’s protection.

People protection is the basis of our work and it is the first thing we are looking for in our studies. In addition, people need to be protected in their daily and leisure activities and this is why we are participating actively to the French Association Protection Foudre (APF – http://www.apfoudre.fr/ ). APF web site includes a free simplified risk assessment tool for people to determine the risk level of their house or flat. SEFTIM also distributes a comic strip on how to protect against lightning, dedicated to children.

We are also performing since 2014 free studies for architects, public administrations or institutes, associations, national heritage owners etc. under the format of a technical sponsorship. This is mainly dedicated to organizations that are not fully aware of lightning & surge protection possibilities or that have limited budget. A typical case is the performance of lightning risk assessment to help organizations to know if they need to consider lightning risk or not and what is the level of risk.
