Learn more about CMCE
From international certifications to military-grade approvals, here’s why the CMCE stands superior in the lightning protection industry:
UL Certificate of Compliance No. 20191118-E505360
This certification from Underwriters Laboratories (Now “UL Solutions”)
confirms the CMCE-120-UL Lightning Suppressor
meets essential U.S. safety standards. UL is one of the most recognized independent safety science companies in the world, making this an important marker of reliability and performance.
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015 Certifications
Quality and environmental stewardship are at the core of the CMCE.
- ISO 9001:2015 certifies that the CMCE manufacturing process follows internationally recognized standards for quality management.
- ISO 14001:2015 ensures the manufacturer’s commitment to environmentally responsible production practices.
Together, these certifications represent a system built with care — both for performance and the planet.
Tested by the High Voltage Laboratory – Tesla Institute
The CMCE Lightning Suppressor
has been tested and approved by the Tesla Institute
in Belgrade, Serbia. As an evolution of Nikola Tesla’s original patent, the CMCE operates on principles of pure capacitance, capable of functioning at various frequencies to prevent lightning formation altogether. This scientific validation connects historic innovation with modern technology.
Compliance with IEC, UNE-EN, and BS-EN 62305 (Parts 1-4)
These international standards set the benchmark for lightning protection systems across Europe and beyond. CMCE’s compliance with all four parts of the IEC 62305
standard means our suppressors address:
- General principles
- Risk management
- Physical damage to structures
- Electrical and electronic systems
This comprehensive coverage ensures that CMCE is engineered to protect all aspects of a structure or area.
NATO Codification (NCAGE Code: SFKU3)
Our system is recognized under the NATO Codification System, which speaks volumes about the reliability and security of the CMCE device for use in military and governmental applications. Few systems meet this level of approval, making it a standout in global defense and critical infrastructure protection.
CE & UKCA Marking
All CMCE models carry both the CE (European Union) and UKCA (United Kingdom) markings. These demonstrate full compliance with each region’s product safety and quality regulations, ensuring legal placement in those markets and reinforcing product credibility.
Lloyd’s Register & RINA Type Approvals
- Lloyd’s Register Certificate No. LR2514641TA
- RINA Certificate No. ELE281223XG
These internationally respected marine and industrial certifications confirm the CMCE's fitness for use in offshore platforms, ships, and high-risk industrial environments. When it comes to protecting critical operations, these approvals speak volumes.
Green Recycling Seal
In addition to being technologically advanced, the CMCE is environmentally conscious. All models are manufactured using 100% recycled materials, reflecting our commitment to protecting not only people and property — but also the planet.
Each of these certifications, approvals, and standards proves one thing: The CMCE Lightning Suppressor
is built to perform, built to last, and built to protect. Whether you’re a homeowner, a commercial developer, or a boat captain, you can trust that your investment in CMCE is backed by rigorous global testing and compliance.

Luxury Living, Elevated Olympus Property is a nationally recognized leader in luxury multifamily living, known for managing and developing high-end residential communities across the United States. With a strong emphasis on lifestyle, comfort, and long-term value, Olympus Property has built a reputation for excellence in both service and innovation. One of its standout communities, Olympus Harbour Island , is a prime example of upscale urban living. Located on Tampa’s exclusive Harbour Island, this waterfront property offers resort-style amenities, panoramic city views, and proximity to downtown attractions, all while maintaining an air of refined tranquility. Olympus Harbour Island’s Vulnerability to Strikes The premium location that makes Olympus Harbour Island so desirable also places it at a heightened risk for lightning strikes. Tampa, Florida, is widely regarded as the “Lightning Capital of North America,” experiencing some of the highest lightning strike densities in the country. With Harbour Island’s exposure to open water and its array of tall, modern structures, the community faced real vulnerability to lightning-related damage. These risks included power surges, potential fire hazards, structural damage, and service disruptions—each of which could compromise resident safety, operational integrity, and the luxury living experience Olympus strives to uphold. Game-Changing Protection: CMCE Lightning Suppression To address these concerns, Olympus Property installed the advanced CMCE Lightning Suppressors at Olympus Harbour Island . Specifically, the property is now protected with a CMCE-120 and a CMCE-55 , covering 600,000 square feet total. Unlike traditional lightning rods that attempt to redirect a strike to the ground, the CMCE is engineered to prevent lightning formation altogether. It works by balancing the electrical field and deionizing the surrounding atmosphere, effectively eliminating the conditions necessary for lightning to form. In doing so, the CMCE creates an invisible shield—like a protective dome—over the covered area, ensuring that lightning simply cannot develop or strike within its coverage area. Prevention Over Reaction: The Benefits of CMCE This proactive and preventative approach aligns with Olympus Property’s dedication to forward-thinking solutions and resident safety. By installing the CMCE-120 and CMCE-55 Lightning Suppressors , Olympus Harbour Island has eliminated its exposure to lightning threats, ensuring uninterrupted comfort for residents and safeguarding the property’s critical infrastructure.
