18、come an important electrostatic control device in all areas, but particularly in electronics manufacturing. Standards exist from various national committees and these have served as guidance in the preparation of this first International Standard for electrostatic control footwear. Control of unwant

19、ed electrostatic charge is of particular importance where personnel work around electrostatic-sensitive processes, materials or items. In many cases, devices such as wrist straps or other devices are employed to provide an electrical bond between a persons skin and a ground connection. Many instance

20、s exist in industry where wrist straps or other tethering devices cannot be safely or conveniently applied, but there is still a need to provide a ground connection for personnel. A convenient method to provide a ground connection for personnel is through their feet while standing or walking on a de

21、fined and properly specified electrostatic control floor surface. The measurement method described in this part of IEC 61340 can be used to monitor electrical specifications of footwear during manufacture, prior to selection by an end user or periodically during use. The method described involves th

22、e use of a specific set of test equipment and instruments. Other equipment and instruments may be used to measure the parameters specified, but in the event of any dispute, the equipment, instruments and measurement method established in this standard apply.

23、 2002ELECTROSTATICS Part 4-3: Standard test methods for specific applications Footwear 1 Scope This part of IEC 61340 describes a test method for determining the electrical resistance of footwear used in the control of electrostatic potential on people. This standard is suitable for use by the manuf

24、acturer of footwear as well as the end user. A method for measuring the electrical resistance of footwear alone is described and serves as an acceptance test for new footwear. NOTE Although this standard does not include requirements for personal safety, attention is drawn to the need for all concer

25、ned to comply with the relevant local statutory requirements regarding the health and safety of all persons in all places of work that use footwear defined by the test method of this standard. Insulating footwear is not included within the scope of this standard although the electrical resistance me

26、asurement techniques may be applicable. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendme

28、hoes, slippers or booties NOTE Two types of footwear exist, see 3.2 and 3.3. 3.2 electrostatic conductive footwear footwear as tested by the method described in this standard with an electrical resistance of 1 10 5 3.3 electrostatic dissipative footwear footwear as tested by the method described in

29、this standard with an electrical resistance of 1 10 5and 1 10 8 Page 4 EN ISO 6134043:2001 BSI 7 February 20024 Test specimens The minimum number of specimens for classification testing shall be three pairs. Cleaning of specimens, if needed, shall be in accordance with the manufacturers recommendati

30、ons. 5 Conditioning and controlled environment for classification tests The electrostatic behaviour of materials generally depends on environmental conditions, mainly on relative humidity. For this reason, electrical measurements shall be performed under controlled conditions defined by the three cl

31、asses of table 1. The selection of a class for testing is made according to the type of tested footwear and the foreseen use. It is based upon the most severe conditions (lowest humidity) in which the product is intended to be used. The samples are both conditioned and tested in a test room or suita

32、ble facility under the following environmental conditions. Pre-conditioning of samples may be necessary as defined in the table to eliminate the effect of stress appearing after moulding of certain materials or to dry the footwear before actual conditioning begins. Table 1 Controlled conditions for

33、electrical measurements Environmental class for pre-conditioning, conditioning and measurement Preconditioning a Conditioning a Measurement a 1 96 0 10 h 40 C 3 C RH 15 % 96 0 10 h 23 C 2 C 12 % RH 3 % RH 23 C 2 C 12 % RH 3 % RH 2 96 0 10 h 23 C 2 C 25 % RH 3 % RH 23 C 2 C 25 % RH 3 % RH 3 48 0 5 h

They have been selected as a compromise between experimental cost and accuracy. If it is desired t

35、o evaluate the performance at near equilibrium, then a series of measurements should be made after a range of conditioning times. ah = Duration; C = Temperature; % RH = Relative humidity. Page 5 EN ISO 6134043:2001 BSI 7 February 20025.1 Classification and marking of footwear Footwear shall be marke

36、d. The marking shall include the environmental class and footwear type. For example: “Environmental class 1 Dissipative“ means: the resistance of the marked footwear is as specified in 3.2.2 (i.e. 1 10 5and 1 10 8 ) when measurements are performed after pre-conditioning and conditioning according to

37、 class 1 of table 1. NOTE It is recommended that the classification of footwear be indicated by durable marking on the bottom surface of their soles. 5.2 Environment for acceptance and periodic tests The environment of the in-use facility can be very different from the one in which the classificatio

38、n tests were performed. Experience will be necessary to ensure that the type designation remains the same for in-use footwear. For example, if footwear has been classed as dissipative in environmental class 1, then acceptance and periodic tests should be used to check that they meet the requirements

39、 for dissipative footwear in the environment of the in-use facility. 5.3 Test report The test report shall include at least the following information: a) date of measurement; b) description and identification of footwear (name, grade, colour, manufacturer, etc.); c) type of measurement; d) temperatu

40、re and relative humidity conditions during test; e) minimum, maximum and average of test values; f) classification of specimens (i.e. footwear type). For classification test: 1) type, size and number of specimens; 2) pre-conditioning (cleaning of specimens and pre-drying); 3) conditioning; 4) descri

41、ption of resistance measurement apparatus; 5) voltage polarity; 6) applied voltage; 7) time for which voltage is applied before a reading is taken; 8) any deviations from the specified procedure. Page 6 EN ISO 6134043:2001 BSI 7 February 20026 Test equipment 6.1 Load applied to footwear under test T

42、he load applied to the footwear under test is 12,5 kg 2,5 kg. This is achieved using a bag, or bags, sufficiently flexible (cotton socks work well) and filled with 12,5 kg 2,5 kg of metal shot ( 3 mm), to fit inside the footwear under test. NOTE Resistance testing of footwear while not being worn re

43、quires the application of a mass or weight either directly or through the application of a known force to the footwear while placed on a counter electrode. The mass or weight may be one of several designs, including any method not described in this standard, provided that it meets the intent and pur

44、pose of applying a known load to the footwear under test. 6.2 Conductive electrode The conductive electrode is fitted so as to contact and cover as large an area as possible of the sole on the inside of the footwear. The resistance shall be 500 when tested according to IEC 61340-2-3 (e.g. aluminium

45、foil fitted to the inside sole of the footwear will function correctly). 6.3 Counter electrode This consists of a stainless steel plate larger than the footwear under test (typically with minimum dimensions of 150 mm 300 mm) and isolated from ground. 6.4 Resistance measurement apparatus A self-conta

46、ined resistance meter (ohmmeter) or power supply and current meter in the appropriate configuration for resistance measurement, with 10 % accuracy, and capable of the following requirements. 6.4.1 Laboratory evaluations The apparatus shall have a circuit voltage while under load of 10 V 0,5 V for re

47、sistance below 1,0 10 6 , and 100 V 5 V for resistance of 1,0 10 6and above. The measuring range of the apparatus shall be at least one order of magnitude either side of the expected range of resistance being measured. The apparatus shall be used in a manner that ensures unintended ground paths do n

48、ot influence measurements. 6.4.2 Acceptance testing A laboratory evaluation apparatus shall be used for acceptance testing as follows: The apparatus shall have an open circuit voltage of 10 V 0,5 V for resistance below 1,0 10 6 , and 100 V 5 V f o r r e s is t a n c e o f 1 , 0 10 6and above. The me

49、asuring range of the apparatus shall be at least one order of magnitude either side of the expected range of resistance being measured. The apparatus shall be used in a manner that ensures unintended ground paths do not influence measurements. In case of dispute, laboratory evaluation apparatus shall be used. 6.5 Environmental test chamber An enclosed chamber or other environment cap
