IFC class for earthing rod

Is there any IFC class to classify an earthing rod?

Iā€™m not an expert on this, but think the closest generalisation of earthing rod would be the IfcCableSegment and you can apply the predefined type: CONDUCTORSEGMENT. Alternatively IfcProtectiveDevice.

IFC4.4 will likely introduce an IfcEarthingElement as a subtype of IfcFlowTerminal with several predefinedtypes including GROUNDINGROD.
