Electrostatics - Part 4-7: Standard test methods for specific applications - Ionization

This part of IEC 61340 provides test methods and procedures for evaluating and selecting air ionization equipment and systems (ionizers). This document establishes measurement techniques, under specified conditions, to determine offset voltage (ion balance) and decay (charge neutralization) time for ionizers. This document does not include measurements of electromagnetic interference (EMI), or the use of ionizers in connection with ordnance, flammables, explosive items or electrically initiated explosive devices. As contained in this document, the test methods and test conditions can be used by manufacturers of ionizers to provide performance data describing their products. Users of ionizers are urged to modify the test methods and test conditions for their specific application in order to qualify ionizers for use, or to make periodic verifications of ionizer performance. The user will decide the extent of the data required for each application. See Annex A for information regarding theoretical background and additional information on the standard test method for the performance of ionizers. CAUTION: Procedures and equipment described in this document can expose personnel to hazardous electrical and non-electrical conditions. Users of this document are responsible for selecting equipment that complies with applicable laws, regulatory codes and both external and internal policy. Users are cautioned that this document cannot replace or supersede any requirements for personnel safety. See Annex C for safety considerations.

88 FOREWORD
89 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
90 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
91 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
92 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
93 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
94 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
95 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
96 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
97 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
98 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
99 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
100 interested IEC National Committees.
101 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
102 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
103 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
104 misinterpretation by any end user.
105 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
106 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
107 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
108 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
109 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
110 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
111 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
112 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
113 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
114 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or f
