Pierre & Friends There used to be an ECMA standard or Technical Report on interconnections between buildings etc., which did address earthing of cables in such circumstances but it no longer seems to be available! Can anyone identify which one that was?

Hello all, The grounding/earthing of long distance cables (more than 100m) concern the EMC and Safety matters. I’m looking for some documentation / information on how to perform a good connection to earth of this kind of cables. Mainly, I would like to know what are the normative and regulatory documents which apply in the North America and in Europe. My main interest is to identify the difference (if exist) between official rules and use and to know exactly what I have to do on communication lines (like RS485, LAN …) or other long lines when they go outside the building. I know that in UK the BS7671 applies. What are the other applicable standard in Europe and in the US/Canada ? Do you know where I can find interesting documentation on this subject ? (except on this forum, of course !)
