Electrostatics - Part 4-9: Standard test methods for specific applications - Garments - Resistive Characterization (IEC 61340-4-9:2024)
This part of IEC 61340 provides test methods for measuring the electrical resistance of garments used for static control applications. These test methods can be used for evaluating outer garments that are homogenously conductive or homogeneously dissipative, or that utilize surface conductive or surface dissipative components or elements.
NOTE The test methods defined in this standard might not be able to measure materials with buried conductive layers.
The resistance point-to-point test method tests the electrical resistance between the two sleeves, any two panels or any two or more electrically interconnected components of the static control garment, including the electrical resistance across the seams and cuffs of the garment as applicable.
An alternate sleeve-to-sleeve test method is allowed, using clamps to hang a garment.
Static control garments that electrically bond to the wearer and provide a path to ground from the wearer are evaluated using the resistance point-to-point test method, the resistance point to groundable point test method, as well as a system test to determine the resistance from the person through the garment to the groundable point of the garment system.
A band resistance measurement test is provided in IEC 61340-4-6 which can be used for garments so equipped with cuffs that are intended to perform the same function as a wrist strap band.
The system test with a person wearing a groundable static control garment system includes the ground cord that connects to the groundable point of the garment.

Électrostatique - Partie 4-9: Méthodes d'essai normalisées pour des applications spécifiques - Vêtements - Caractéristiques résistives (IEC 61340-4-9:2024)
L'IEC 61340-4-9:2024 fournit des méthodes d'essai pour mesurer la résistance électrique des vêtements utilisés pour des applications de contrôle des DES. Ces méthodes d'essai peuvent être utilisées pour évaluer des vêtements extérieurs conducteurs de façon homogène ou dissipatifs de façon homogène, ou qui comportent des composants ou des éléments à surface conductrice ou dissipative.
NOTE Il est possible que les méthodes d'essai spécifiées dans le présent document ne permettent pas le mesurage des matériaux à couches conductrices enfouies.
Cette troisième édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
a) l'IEC 61010-1 et l'IEC 61010-2-030 ont été ajoutées comme exigences pour les appareils de mesure;
b) la plage de tensions d'essai pour le chemin de mise à la terre du personnel est passée de "7 V à 30 V en courant continu" à "7 V à 100 V en courant continu";
c) les exigences de nettoyage sont passées de cinq cycles de nettoyage au minimum à trois cycles de nettoyage au minimum;
d) les exigences concernant l'humidité modérée ont été supprimées;
e) les figures ont été remplacées par des dessins génériques.
