A baseline measurement is a measurement conducted before the CP system is put into operation. A baseline measurement reflects the initial situation of the object to be protected and the environmental factors such as soil conditions, coating quality, current distribution, and interference with other metal structures or electrical installations.

A baseline measurement is important for several reasons:

• It indicates whether the CP system is well designed, installed, and adjusted.
• It shows the corrosion rate and the lifespan of the object without the CP system.
• It provides the potential and current values of the object without the CP system, which serve as reference values for assessing the effectiveness of the CP system.
• It indicates whether there is a short circuit or interference with other metal structures or electrical installations, which can disrupt or reduce the CP system's functionality.
