This part of IEC 61340 provides specific test methods for evaluating electrical resistance of static control garments. This part defines the test methods for determining the electrical resistance from sleeve-tosleeve and point-to-point of static control garments. The test methods defined in this standard utilize standard instruments to measure the resistance of static control garments. These methods are intended as qualification test procedures. They can also be used as periodic tests to ensure ongoing electrical integrity of the garment under ambient conditions. The sleeve-to-sleeve method (Figures 1 and 2) is intended to test the integrity of the electrical resistance across the seams of the garment. The point-to-point test method (Figure 3) is intended to test the electrical resistance between any two points on the garment, which may include the electrical resistance across the seams of the garment.
