Assessing the electrostatic suitability of garments

摘要

I understand from the recent publication of the EC 61340-9-4 document, "Electrostatics - Standard test methods for specific applications - garments", that the electrostatic suitability of garments is to be judged solely on the basis of resistivity measurement I think it will be useful for readers to appreciate the limitations of this approach. Measurement of surface resistivity is not an adequate approach for assessing the electrostatic suitability of materials for the following reasons.
