ESD SP15.1-2011 PDF Download

This standard provides a set of test procedures for measuring the intrinsic electrical resistance of gloves and finger cots. The purpose of these tests is to evaluate the ability of these products to dissipate static electricity and prevent the buildup of electrostatic discharge (ESD). The standard aims to ensure that gloves and finger cots used in ESD-sensitive environments meet the necessary criteria for performance and safety.

The procedures outlined in this standard practice involve subjecting the gloves and finger cots to various electrical resistance tests. These tests are designed to measure the resistance of the materials used in these products, allowing for the assessment of their ability to prevent static electricity from accumulating on the surface. By conducting these tests, organizations can determine whether the gloves and finger cots meet the required thresholds for ESD protection, ensuring the overall safety and effectiveness of ESD control measures within their operations.

Overall, this standard provides a comprehensive framework for conducting in-use resistance testing of gloves and finger cots. It offers organizations clear and standardized procedures for evaluating the electrical resistance of these ESD control products and ensuring their efficacy in preventing electrostatic discharge in sensitive environments.
