Electrostatics - Part 4-3: Standard test methods for specific applications - Footwear
IEC 61340-4-3:2017 describes a test method for determining the electrical resistance of footwear (shoes, slippers or booties) used in the control of electrostatic potential on people. This document is suitable for use by the manufacturer of footwear as well as the end user. A method for measuring the electrical resistance of footwear alone is described and serves as a qualification test or an acceptance test for new footwear, or as a periodic test of in-use footwear. Although this document does not include requirements for personal safety, footwear used within the scope of this document in all places of work is regulated by the relevant local statutory requirements regarding the health and safety of all persons. Insulating footwear is not included within the scope of this document although the electrical resistance measurement techniques can be applicable. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) classification of footwear as electrostatic conductive or electrostatic dissipative has been removed – classification is not specified; b) environmental classes for laboratory testing have been removed – one set of conditions for pre-conditioning, conditioning and testing is specified; c) reference to IEC 61340-2-3 for measuring the resistance of the counter electrode inserted inside footwear has been removed.
Elektrostatik - Teil 4-3: Standard-Prüfverfahren für spezielle Anwendungen - Schuhwerk
Electrostatique - Partie 4-3: Méthodes d'essai normalisées pour des applications spécifiques - Chaussures
L'IEC 61340-4-3:2017 décrit une méthode d'essai employée pour déterminer la résistance électrique des articles chaussants (chaussures, chaussons ou bottillons) utilisés pour la maîtrise du potentiel électrostatique du personnel. Le présent document est utilisable aussi bien par les fabricants de chaussures que par les utilisateurs finaux. Une méthode de mesure de la résistance électrique de la chaussure seule est décrite et sert d'essai de qualification ou d'acceptation pour de nouvelles chaussures, ou d'essai périodique des chaussures en cours d'utilisation. Bien que le présent document ne comporte aucune exigence relative à la sécurité des personnes, l'attention est attirée sur le fait que toutes les parties concernées sont tenues de se conformer aux exigences légales locales relatives à la santé et à la sécurité des personnes à tous les postes de travail où sont utilisées des chaussures relevant du domaine d'application du présent document. Les chaussures isolantes ne sont pas incluses dans le domaine d'application du présent document, bien que les techniques de mesure de la résistance électrique puissent leur être appliquées. Cette édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente: a) la classification des chaussures comme électrostatiquement conductrices ou dissipatrices a été supprimée; elle n'est pas spécifiée; b) les classes d'environnement pour les essais en laboratoire ont été supprimées; un seul ensemble de conditions pour le préconditionnement, le conditionnement et les essais est spécifié; c) la référence à l'IEC 61340-2-3 pour mesurer la résistance de la contre-électrode insérée à l'intérieur de la chaussure a été supprimée.
Elektrostatika - 4-3. del: Standardne preskusne metode za posebno uporabo - Obutev (IEC 61340-4-3:2017)
Ta del standarda IEC 61340 vsebuje opis preskusne metode za ugotavljanje električne upornosti obutve (čevljev, copat ali škornjev), ki se uporabljajo pri kontroli elektrostatičnega potenciala na ljudeh. Ta dokument lahko uporabljata proizvajalec obutve in končni uporabnik. Opisan je način merjenja električne upornosti same obutve in se uporablja kot preskus kakovosti ali preskus sprejemljivosti za novo obutev ali kot redni preskus uporabljane obutve.
Čeprav ta dokument ne vključuje zahtev za osebno varnost, urejajo obutev, uporabljano v okviru obsega tega dokumenta na vseh delovnih mestih, relevantne lokalne zahteve iz zakonov v zvezi z varnostjo in zdravjem vseh oseb.
Izolacijska obutev ni vključena v obseg tega dokumenta, čeprav je mogoče uporabiti tehnike merjenja električne upornosti.

FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61340-4-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 101: Electrostatics. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2001. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) classification of footwear as electrostatic conductive or electrostatic dissipative has been removed – classification is not specified; b) environmental classes for laboratory testing have been removed – one set of conditions for pre-conditioning, conditioning and testing is specified; c) reference to IEC 61340-2-3 for measuring the resistance of the counter electrode inserted inside footwear has been removed.

IEC 61340-4-3:2017 © IEC 2017 – 5 – INTRODUCTION Footwear, especially shoes, has become 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 part of IEC 61340 for electrostatic control footwear. Control of unwanted electrostatic charge is of particular importance where personnel work around electrostatic-sensitive processes, materials or items. In many cases, devices such as wrist straps are
