Thompson Lightning Protection's copper and aluminum product lines and completed installations are inspected and approved by Underwriters Laboratories for Master Label service as specified and comply in all respects with the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association. Further, Thompson Lightning Protection, as a founding member of the Lightning Protection Institute is committed to the promotion, supply and installation of only the highest quality lightning protection systems. It is TLP's belief that this type of system and these goals are best accomplished by using the LPI Certified System program. The design and installation criteria under this program are based on the LPI Standard 175. The key benefits of this program is that it provides for inspection at all critical stages of the installation, and the Owner is entitled to the benefits of an optional, yearly inspection of the lightning protection system. This program is administered by the LPI through its member manufacturers and certified installers. TLP recommends the LPI Certified System be established as the installation criteria for all lightning protection systems.
