scope:

NEN-ISO/IEC 30129 specifies requirements and recommendations for the design and installation of connections (bonds) between various electrically conductive elements in buildings and other structures, during their construction or refurbishment, in which information technology (IT) and, more generally, telecommunications equipment is intended to be installed in order to a) minimise the risk to the correct function of that equipment and interconnecting cabling from electrical hazards, b) provide the telecommunications installation with a reliable signal reference - which may improve immunity from electromagnetic interference (EMI). The requirements of this International Standard are applicable to the buildings and other structures within premises addressed by ISO/IEC 14763-2 (e.g. residential, office, industrial and data centres) but information given in this International Standard may be of assistance for other types of buildings and structures.
