FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61340-2-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 101:
Electrostatics.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
101/138/FDIS 101/141/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Annex A forms an integral part of this standard.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
2007. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
Measurements of the rate of dissipation of static charge belong to the essential measurement
techniques in the field of electrostatics.
For homogeneous conductive materials this property can be evaluated by measuring
resistance or resistivity parameters.
For materials in the dissipative or insulative range and especially for high ohmic materials
including conductive fibres (e.g. textiles with a metallic grid), resistance measurements may
not be reliable enough or may not give enough information and the rate of dissipation of static
charge needs to be measured.
For many non-metal materials, such as plastics, the transport of charges is dependent on the
applied electrical field strength during the measurement, for example, a measurement of
resistance will show a non-linear dependence on applied test voltage. There are also
problems with spatial inhomogeneity with measurement methods that use contacting
electrodes. These points are covered by measuring the rate of dissipation of charge.

Ability of materials and products
to dissipate static electric charge
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61340 describes test methods for measuring the rate of dissipation of static
charge of insulating and static dissipative materials and products.
It includes a generic description of test methods and detailed test procedures for specific
applications.

3 Definitions
For the purpose of this part of IEC 61340, the following definitions apply.
3.1
charge decay
migration of charge across or through a material leading to a reduction of charge density or
surface potential at the area where the charge was deposited
3.2
charge decay time constant
time required for the local charge density or surface potential to fall to 1/e of its initial value (e
being the base of the natural logarithms 2,7183)

3.4
corona
generation of ions of either polarities by a high electric field
3.5
dissipative material
material which allows charge to migrate over its surface and/or through its volume in a time
which is short compared to the time scale of the actions creating the charge or the time within
which this charge will cause an electrostatic problem
3.6
insulator
material with very low mobility of charge so that any charge on the surface will remain there
for a long time
4 Method of measurement of charge decay
4.1 Principles
Two methods are described.
The first method determines the dissipation of charge deposited on the surface of the material
by a corona discharge. The resulting decrease in surface potential is observed using a
fieldmeter or other equivalent equipment. This method is applicable to measurement of
charge dissipation on surfaces and materials.
The second method determines the dissipation of charge from a charged plate through an
object under test by applying a potential to the metallic plate, disconnecting the voltage
source and observing the decrease in potential of the plate by means of a fieldmeter or other
equivalent equipment. This method is applicable to measurement of charge dissipation via
products such as finger cots, gloves and hand tools.
NOTE There are more methods to charge materials other than the charging methods described here (for example
tribocharging or inductive charging) but they are not relevant for this standard.
4.2 Environmental conditions
The electrical properties of materials vary with temperature and the absorption of moisture.
The atmosphere for conditioning and testing shall be 23 °C ± 2 °C and 12 % ± 3 % relative
humidity. The conditioning time prior to testing shall be at least 48 h, or as otherwise agreed.
For measurements in practical situations the ambient temperature and relative humidity shall
be recorded.
For laboratory measurements, the materials shall be cleaned according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. The materials used for cleaning and the method shall be reported.
For measurements in practical or installed applications, the materials shall be tested without
any “special” cleaning. If cleaning is part of the process, for example, washing of garments,
measurements should be taken before and after cleaning, where practical. The materials and
the method used for cleaning shall be reported.
