E.5.4 Earth-termination system
E.5.4.1 General
(…) The LPS designer and the LPS installer should select suitable
types of earth electrodes and should locate them at safe
distances from entrances and exits of a structure and from the
external conductive parts in the soil, such as cables, metal ducts,
etc. Hence the LPS designer and the LPS installer should make
special provisions for protection against dangerous step voltages
in the vicinity of the earth-termination networks if they are
installed in areas accessible to the public (see Clause 8).
The recommended value of the overall earth resistance of 10 Ω is
fairly conservative in the case of structures in which direct
equipotential bonding is applied. The resistance value should be
as low as possible in every case but especially in the case of 

structures endangered by explosive material. Still the most

important measure is equipotential bonding.

E.5.4.2.2 Type B arrangement

(…) The type B earth-termination system is preferred for meshed
air-termination systems and for LPS with several down-
conductors.
This type of arrangement comprises either a ring earth electrode
external to the structure, in contact with the soil for at least 80%
of its total length, or a foundation earth electrode.
