What is the frequency of lightning protection testing of a building as per UK Law or OSHA? Thanks in advance for helping me.

The Lightning conductor systems must be tested every 12 months (ideally less than 12). The testing is carried out by an Belfry approved Sub- Contractor, to BS 6651.

Never come across a Belfry approved Sub-Contractor, what is the significance? Never come across Belfry as an approval body either? Interested to know their legal status? Oh & 6651 has been replaced by BS EN 62305 parts 1-4! ;)
