Belt drives - Electrical conductivity of antistatic endless synchronous belts - Characteristics and test method

ISO 9563:2015 specifies the maximum and minimum electrical resistance of antistatic endless and open ended synchronous belts. This International Standard provides guidelines to allow testing of synchronous belts to prove their static conductive (dissipative) properties as well as a corresponding production control test method. The application of this International Standard is limited to new belts intended to be used in an explosive atmosphere or in situations where there is a fire risk. The test is intended to ensure that the belt is sufficiently conductive to dissipate charges of electricity which may form on it in service. In the case of a production control test, the decision is left to national standards or agreement between interested parties as to whether the test shall be carried out on each belt in a batch or on only a percentage of belts in a batch. For each proof test, the belt manufacturer shall determine which type of electrode and conductive coating material shall be used.

Overview

ISO 9563:2015 is an international standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies the electrical conductivity requirements and testing methods for antistatic endless synchronous belts used in safety-critical environments. The standard defines the maximum and minimum electrical resistance limits to ensure that these belts are sufficiently conductive to dissipate static electricity, minimizing the risk of sparks or fire hazards, especially in explosive atmospheres.

The scope of ISO 9563:2015 covers new antistatic endless and open-ended synchronous belts designed for use where static charge buildup could pose a fire or explosion risk. It provides detailed guidelines for laboratory and production testing to verify the belts’ static dissipative properties. This standard assists manufacturers and end users in ensuring compliance with safety requirements related to electrical resistance of belt drives in industrial applications.

Key Topics

  • Electrical Resistance Specification
    ISO 9563:2015 sets quantitative limits on the electrical resistance of antistatic synchronous belts to ensure effective static charge dissipation. Resistance is measured in ohms (Ω) and must not exceed the calculated maximum value based on belt geometry.

  • Test Methodology
    The standard describes precise procedures for measuring electrical resistance using insulation testers with a nominal 500 V DC voltage. Testing involves applying electrodes to the belt surface and measuring resistance across the belt teeth area while maintaining consistent pressure.

  • Electrode and Contact Requirements
    Accurate resistance measurement requires electrodes designed to fit the belt’s tooth profile, covering specific teeth and grooves. The standard emphasizes using conductive materials that avoid surface oxidation and may include conductive coatings like silver lacquer or colloidal graphite to ensure optimal contact.

  • Environmental Conditioning
    Prior to testing, belts must be conditioned in a controlled atmosphere (23 ± 2 °C temperature and 50 ± 5 % relative humidity) to ensure reliable and reproducible electrical resistance measurements.

  • Production Control Testing
    ISO 9563:2015 outlines options for production testing strategies, allowing testing of either full batches or samples based on national standards or stakeholder agreement. It also provides guidance on the selection of appropriate test electrodes and coatings.

Applications

  • Explosive Atmospheres
    Ensuring antistatic properties of synchronous belts is critical in industries such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and mining, where belts operate in potentially explosive environments.

  • Fire Risk Environments
    This standard supports safer belt drive systems in applications where static electricity could trigger fires, including electronics manufacturing, textile production, and powder processing.

  • Industrial Belt Manufacturing
    Manufacturers use ISO 9563:2015 as a benchmark for quality control and product certification, verifying that their belts meet the required resistance specifications before market release.

  • Safety Compliance and Risk Mitigation
    Employing this standard helps organizations comply with occupational safety regulations related to electrostatic discharge and reduces the risk of costly accidents caused by static sparks.

Related Standards

  • ISO 1813 – Belt drives – Electrical conductivity of antistatic belts: Characteristics and test methods for V-ribbed belts and V-belts.
  • ISO 5296 – Synchronous belt drives – Dimensions and pitch codes for metric and inch synchronous belts.
  • ISO 9010 – Synchronous belt drives – Automotive belt specifications.
  • ISO 13050 – Synchronous belt drives – Metric pitch curvilinear profile systems for belts and pulleys.

These complementary standards focus on related belt drive types and their mechanical and electrical properties, forming a comprehensive framework for belt drive system safety and performance.


By adhering to ISO 9563:2015, manufacturers and end users ensure that antistatic synchronous belts maintain proper electrical conductivity to dissipate static charges effectively, supporting industrial safety, reliability, and compliance in hazardous or sensitive environments.

ISO 9563:2015은 방전 동기식 벨트의 전기 전도성에 대한 최대값과 최소값을 규정하는 표준이다. 이 국제 표준은 방전성을 증명하기 위해 동기식 벨트에 대한 테스트를 허용하는 지침을 제공한다. 이 표준은 폭발 위험이 있는 환경이나 화재 위험이 있는 상황에서 사용되는 새로운 벨트에만 적용된다. 이 테스트는 벨트가 서비스 도중에 형성될 수 있는 전기 차지를 충분히 전도할 수 있는지 확인하기 위한 것이다. 생산 관리 테스트의 경우, 테스트를 각 벨트별로 수행할지, 일괄 생산된 벨트 중 일부 벨트에 대해서만 수행할지에 대한 결정은 각국의 표준 또는 이해 관계자 간의 합의에 따른다. 각 증명 테스트에 대해 벨트 제조업자는 사용할 전극 및 전도성 코팅 재료의 유형을 결정해야 한다.

ISO 9563:2015 is a standard that sets guidelines for the electrical conductivity of antistatic synchronous belts. It specifies the maximum and minimum electrical resistance for these belts and provides a test method to prove their static conductive properties. This standard is applicable to new belts used in explosive atmospheres or where there is a fire risk. The purpose of the test is to ensure that the belt can dissipate any charges of electricity that may form during its use. The decision on whether to carry out the test on each belt or a percentage of belts in a batch is determined by national standards or an agreement between parties involved. The belt manufacturer determines the type of electrode and conductive coating material to be used for each test.

ISO 9563:2015は、耐静電性無限同期ベルトの最大および最小電気抵抗を規定する国際規格です。この規格は、静電気を除去する(ダイシペイティブ)特性を証明するための同期ベルトのテストを行うためのガイドラインを提供します。この規格は、爆発性のある環境や火災のリスクがある状況で使用される新しいベルトに適用されます。テストの目的は、ベルトが使用中に発生することがある電荷を適切に除去できるかどうかを確認することです。生産管理テストの場合、テストをバッチごとの各ベルトに対して行うか、一部のベルトに対してのみ行うかは、国家規格または関係者間の合意によって決定されます。各テストについて、ベルトの製造業者が使用する電極および導電性コーティング材料のタイプを決定する必要があります。
