Malaysia’s #1 Lightning Risk Assessment Software —
MS IEC 62305 Certified Commercial & Industrial
Lightning Protection System
TAKO developed and customised the only Lightning Risk Assessment Software built specifically for Malaysian weather — not a generic international tool retrofitted for local use. As Malaysia’s Certified Total Lightning Protection System Service Provider since 1979, with over 25 years of specialised expertise, TAKO designs and installs complete Lightning Protection System solutions for commercial buildings, factories, and industrial facilities across every major Malaysian industrial zone — fully compliant with MS IEC 62305 and Suruhanjaya Tenaga’s Arahan/ST/No.4/2019.
What Is a Lightning Protection System — and Why Malaysia Needs One
Understanding the basics before choosing a provider — explained the way TAKO explains it to every facility manager we visit.
A Lightning Protection System is a complete engineered installation — covering air termination (lightning rods or ESE arresters), down conductors, equipotential bonding, an earthing system, and surge protection devices — designed to safely intercept lightning strikes and discharge the current into the earth, protecting buildings, equipment, and people. Malaysia is among the top three countries in the world for lightning frequency, recording 185 to 293 thunderstorm days per year across its major industrial zones. A compliant Lightning Protection System is legally mandatory in Malaysia under Suruhanjaya Tenaga’s Arahan/ST/No.4/2019, which requires full compliance with MS IEC 62305:2007 for applicable commercial and industrial buildings.
Why a Generic Lightning Rod Is Not Enough
A piece of metal on your roof is not a Lightning Protection System — it is one component of one. Genuine MS IEC 62305 compliance requires four interconnected parts: a documented risk assessment, a properly engineered external system, a tested earthing network, and surge protection for everything connected to your power and data lines. TAKO designs every system as a complete, certified solution — never a single component sold in isolation.

TAKO’s Lightning Risk Assessment Software — Built for Malaysian Weather
Most lightning protection companies in Malaysia use generic international risk calculators built for European or American climates. TAKO does not.
TAKO’s Lightning Risk Assessment Software is a proprietary tool developed and customised specifically for Malaysian weather conditions — incorporating local ground flash density (Ng) data, regional thunderstorm frequency patterns from Pasir Gudang to Bayan Lepas to Bintulu, and Malaysian soil resistivity characteristics. Unlike generic international tools, it produces MS IEC 62305-2 compliant risk calculations that reflect the actual lightning exposure of your specific site — not a global average. This software is the foundation of every MS IEC 62305 Certified Commercial Lightning Protection System TAKO designs.
Malaysia-Specific Weather Data
Calibrated using local Ng (ground flash density) values for each Malaysian industrial zone — not a single national average applied blindly across the country.
MS IEC 62305-2 Compliant Output
Produces risk calculations, Lightning Protection Level (LPL) determination, and documentation formatted exactly to Suruhanjaya Tenaga and DOSH requirements.
Soil & Structure Aware
Accounts for Malaysia’s varied soil resistivity — from Port Klang’s coastal clay to Rawang’s high-resistivity laterite — directly informing your earthing design.
Our Simple 4-Step Process
From your first call to a fully protected, MS IEC 62305 certified building — we make it seamless.
TAKO’s Complete Lightning Protection System Solutions
Every solution below is designed and installed by TAKO as part of one coordinated, MS IEC 62305 certified system — never sold as a standalone product without proper integration.
Lightning Risk Assessment
The mandatory first step — MS IEC 62305-2 risk calculation using TAKO’s Malaysia-built software.
Risk Assessment →MS IEC 62305 LPS
Complete 4-part compliant system design, installation, and certification for Malaysian buildings.
MS IEC 62305 Services →Lightning Rod

MS IEC 62305 Lightning Protection Level (LPL) — What Your Building Needs
The LPL determined by TAKO’s risk assessment software sets the exact design parameters for your external Lightning Protection System.
| LPL Class | Protection Level | Rolling Sphere Radius | Mesh Dimension | Earth Resistance Target | Typical Malaysian Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LPL I | Highest — 99% interception | 20 m | 5 m × 5 m | < 10 Ω | Petrochemical plants, LNG facilities, hospitals, data centres |
| LPL II | High — 97% interception | 30 m | 10 m × 10 m | < 10 Ω | Commercial high-rises, major factories, power plants |
| LPL III | Moderate — 91% interception | 45 m | 15 m × 15 m | < 10 Ω | SME industrial facilities, warehouses, mid-size commercial |
| LPL IV | Basic — 84% interception | 60 m | 20 m × 20 m | < 10 Ω | Lower-risk structures with limited consequence of strike |
| Source: MS IEC 62305-3:2007 Table 4. The correct LPL for your building can only be determined through a professional risk assessment — TAKO’s proprietary software calculates this using your site’s actual Malaysian weather exposure. | |||||
What Makes TAKO Different
There is no shortage of lightning protection suppliers in Malaysia. There is a real shortage of contractors who built their own software, take full responsibility for the complete system, and have done this since before MS IEC 62305 existed.
TAKO Since 1979 — 25+ Years Specialised
