Lightning Protection Test Certificate Missing Before Final Payment Email Template

Use this page when final payment is delayed because the buyer says the lightning protection test certificate, LPS inspection record, or lightning-system compliance certificate is still missing. This is different from an earthing-resistance report because it covers the full lightning protection installation and its formal acceptance record. The exact issue is that the building or facility may already be complete, but the payer is still holding payment until the lightning protection system has been tested and certified. Your email should ask whether the lightning-protection certificate is the only remaining blocker, whether testing has already taken place, which inspector or authority still needs to sign off, and whether payment will be released once the certificate is issued. The outcome you want is to tie the delayed cash to one specific life-safety compliance certificate instead of broad electrical-compliance language. It is commercially strong because specialist compliance certificates often become final-stage payment blockers even when the installed work itself is done.
