2.8 Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
2.8.1 Equipotential bonding and earthing system
CAUTION! EMC
An equipotential bonding system that meets the current standards
is an absolute must for good EMC and, in particular, for an ad-
equate protection against personal injury.
Requirements for equipotential bonding and earthing systems are described
mainly in:
• DIN VDE 18014
Requirements for foundation earths
• (DIN) VDE 0100 540
Installing low-voltage systems
• (DIN) EN 50310 (DIN VDE 0800 2 310)
Use of measures for equipotential bonding and earthing in buildings
with IT installations
Connect metallic conductive cable raceways with
the building's equipotential bonding system.
For this, observe the notes on equipotential bonding
in Section 2.9.
