Alltec Protection Systems Becomes the First Company in India to be Certified by Underwriters Laboratories in the Installation of Lightning Protection


Alltec Corporation's India Operations, Alltec Protection Systems Pvt. Ltd, taking its cue from the American offices, worked with Underwriters Laboratories to assert the importance of third party accreditation of lightning protection engineers. India does not have a nationwide set of procedures and practices defined for the inspection of lightning protection installation. By accepting and becoming accredited in the Underwriters Laboratories internationally accepted standards, Alltec Protection Systems Pvt. Ltd. sets itself as the industry leader in lightning protection for the country of India.

Certification was accomplished through a series of seminars, training courses and a final comprehensive examination.

On February 22, 2010, Alltec Protection Systems Pvt. Ltd. and Underwriters Laboratories organized a training seminar on "International Best Practices in Lightning Protection," at the Hotel Radisson Delhi. The Speakers were: Mr. Richard W. Bouchard, Technical Advisor (Lightning Protection Program) UL USA and Mr. George Dudkowski, Program Manager - Inspection Services UL Canada.

This interactive seminar was well attended, and the delegates and participants took keen interest in information presented.

Based upon the success of the seminar, Underwriters Laboratories organized a training course on UL Standard 96A. Alltec Protection Systems Pvt. Ltd. participated in full strength. The training was provided by UL's Mr. Richard Bouchard explaining, theoretically, each clause of the standard and giving practical demonstrations.

Underwriters Laboratories further organized an examination on February 26, 2010. Four members of Alltec Protection Systems Pvt. Ltd. participated in the examination and all of them were declared qualified Lightning Protection Installers. Underwriters Laboratories Certificates have been issued.
