The Karnataka High court issued an order to lift the earlier ban on ESE (Early Streamer Emission) proposed under the NBC 2016. Ruling in favour of the Lightning Protection India Association (LPIA) the Court suggested that it is up to the consumer and their preferences to decide which lightning protection system to install. The court further clarified that The National Building Code of India (NBC), is expected to be a neutral document and should not hold an affirmative stance on any particular technology, thereby disbarring it from the authority of banning any technology goods (such as ESE).
ESE systems have been used in India for more than 20 years, with thousands of ESE installations to protect numerous government and private sites. ESE terminals have been installed in many of India’s historical structures including The Red Fort, The Parliament House, Town Hall of Bangalore and in Mysore Palace. With millions of sites worldwide, the ESE efficiency and reliability to protect human beings and assets is proven and well admitted.
