ESD STM12.1 – Seating – Resistive Measurement

ESD STM12.1-2019 test method provides test methods for measuring the electrical resistance of seating used for the control of electrostatic charge or discharge. It contains test methods for the qualification of seating prior to installation or application, as well as, test methods for evaluating and monitoring seating after installation or application.

The test methods established here are designed to measure the resistance of seating.The resistances considered here are measured from various components of the seating to a groundable point such as a conductive caster or a drag chain.Resistivity measurement are not within the scope or purpose of this standard test method.
