IEC TR 60479-4:20 20（E）总结了闪电的基本参数及其适用于人类和牲畜的可变性。 指出了打击与生物身体可能的直接和间接相互作用。描述了雷电流对生物体造成的影响。 这份文件显示了雷击对人类和牲畜的影响与来自电气系统的电击的影响的差异。 这第三版取消并取代了2011年出版的第二版。本版构成技术修订版。 与上一版相比，此版本包括以下重大技术变更: a)描述了世界各地的闪电发生和气候影响；b)扩展了直接打击描述； c)阶跃电压效应扩大； d)向上拖缆解释增强； e)规定了雷电对人体伤害的其他直接或间接相关影响； f)介绍了关于雷电人身危险的各种安全程序和相关可能性。

IEC TR 60479-4:2020 (E) summarizes the basic parameters for lightning and its variability insofar as they apply to human beings and livestock.
The possible direct and indirect interactions of strikes with bodies of living beings are indicated. The resulting effects caused by lightning currents for the organism are described.
This document shows the differences of effects on human beings and livestock due to lightning strokes versus those effects of electric shocks derived from electrical systems.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2011. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) lightning occurence and climatory effects around the world are depicted;
b) direct strike description is extended;
c) step voltage effects are expanded;
d) upward streamer explanation is enhanced;
e) other direct or indirect related effects to lightning injuries to the human body are specified;
f) various safety procedures and related possibilities with respect to the personsal danger of lightning are presented.
