Electrostatics - Part 2-1: Measurement methods - Ability of materials and products to dissipate static electric charge

This part of IEC 61340 describes test methods for measuring the rate of dissipation of static charge of insulating and static materials and products. It includes a generic description of test methods and detailed test procedures for specific applications. The two test methods for measuring charge decay time, one using corona charging and one using a charged metal plate are different and might not give equivalent results. Nevertheless, each method has a range of applications for which it is best suited. The corona charging method is suitable for evaluating the ability of materials, for example textiles, packaging, etc., to dissipate charge from their own surfaces. The charged metal plate method is suitable for evaluating the ability of materials and objects such as gloves, finger cots, hand tools, etc. to dissipate charge from conductive objects placed on or in contact with them. The charged plate method might not be suitable for evaluating the ability of materials to dissipate charge from their own surfaces. In addition to its general application, this horizontal standard is also intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108. One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal standard shall not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.

Elektrostatika - 2-1. del: Merilne metode - Sposobnost materialov in izdelkov za odvajanje elektrostatičnega naboja - Dopolnilo A1 (IEC 61340-2-1:2015/AMD1:2022)

Amandma A1:2022 je dodatek k standardu SIST EN 61340-2-1:2016.
Ta del standarda IEC 61340 opisuje preskusne metode za merjenje hitrosti odvajanja statičnega naboja izolacijskih in statičnih materialov ter izdelkov.
Vključuje splošen opis preskusnih metod in podrobne preskusne postopke za posamezne uporabe.
Preskusni metodi za merjenje časa odvajanja naboja, pri čemer ena uporablja koronsko polnjenje in druga napolnjeno kovinsko ploščo, se med seboj razlikujeta ter morda ne bosta zagotovili enakovrednih rezultatov. Vendar je mogoče vsako metodo uporabiti na različnih področjih, za katere je najprimernejša. Metoda koronskega polnjenja je primerna za oceno sposobnosti materialov, na primer tekstilij, embalaž ipd., za odvajanje naboja z lastnih površin. Metoda napolnjene kovinske plošče je primerna za oceno sposobnosti materialov in predmetov, kot so rokavice, naprstne rokavice, ročna orodja ipd., za odvajanje naboja s prevodnih predmetov, postavljenih nanje ali v stiku z njimi. Metoda polnjene plošče morda ni primerna za oceno sposobnosti materialov za odvajanje naboja z lastnih površin.
Poleg veljavnosti na svojem splošnem področju je ta horizontalni standard namenjen tehničnim odborom za pripravo standardov v skladu z načeli vodila IEC 108.
Ena od pristojnosti tehničnih odborov je, da med pripravo publikacij uporabljajo horizontalne standarde, kadar je to primerno. Vsebine tega horizontalnega standarda se ne sme uporabljati, razen če je izrecno navedena ali zajeta v ustreznih publikacijah.

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, u
