To expand on @sometimewoodworker's post, here's the rest of that document from PEA, page 20  (page 10 of the  .pdf) specifically discusses the requirements for the rod and how it should be connected.

And the diagram with translations.

Thanks @Crossy I knew you would be along to expand and that you have the documents handy but thought that the first picture was enough to get @sead going, also though I probably have the others I’m not sure where ????

If your roof has a steel frame, you might consider connecting it to the Earth ground as well while things are accessble if you have any wiring near the steel structure.

Don't obstruct the top of the earth rod by covering it in concrete or such. If the ground dries out apparently the earth may not work very well.

I had a short length of plastic pipe around the top of mine and I poured in some water when the ground got dry.

 

Also make sure they use the proper length rod. The clown I employed to install my electric water heater used a 1 foot rod.

Yeah, our roof steel actually tests better than the 2.4m rod (we have 16m piles).
