The storm detector standard is now published at European level and is also introduced in the IEC program of work. However, this standard is only a first document that even if very important will not be enough to apply safely the storm detectors in field. First regarding application, it is assumed in the standard that a setting process will be possible for any device installed but in practice, for many industrial applications, this procedure will be very weak and the device should be able to meet the industry requirements in a very short time to be efficient and thus settings procedure should be very straight forward. Second regarding long term withstand, it is very important that the device be reliable and thus tested.
