INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION ____________ELECTROSTATICS –Part 4-5: Standard test methods for specific applications – Methods for characterizing the electrostatic protection
of footwear and flooring in combination with a person 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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication. 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) andexpenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 61340-4-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 101: Electrostatics. The text of this standard is based on the following documents: FDIS Report on voting 101/178/FDIS 101/186/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 2.

ELECTROSTATICS – Part 4-5: Standard test methods for specific applications – Methods for characterizing the electrostatic protection
of footwear and flooring in combination with a person 1 Scope This part of IEC 61340 specifies test methods for evaluating electrostatic protection provided by a system of footwear and flooring in combination with a person. The test methods are not intended for individual material or system classification purposes. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. IEC 60093, Methods of test for volume resistivity and surface resistivity of solid electrical insulating materialsIEC 61340-4-1, Electrostatics – Part 4-1: Standard test methods for specific applications – Electrostatic resistance of floor coverings and installed floorsISO 1957, Machine-made textile floor coverings – Selection and cutting of specimens for physical tests3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in IEC 61340-1-2 apply. 4 Principle The characterization of a system is achieved by measuring electrical resistance and chargeability of the footwear and flooring in combination with a person. Chargeability is determined using a walking test. WARNING: Test procedures described in this standard may expose personnel to potentially hazardous electrical conditions. Appropriate electrical hazard reduction practices should be exercised and proper earthing instructions for the equipment used should be followed when performing tests.

5 Atmosphere for conditioning and testing The following requirements supersede any other specification for the atmosphere for conditioning and testing that may be given in one or more of the documents referred to in this standard. Unless otherwise agreed, the atmosphere for conditioning and testing for laboratory evaluations shall be (23 ± 2) °C and (12 ± 3) % relative humidity. The conditioning time prior to testing shall be at least 48 h. Textile floor coverings are preferably pre-conditioned for at least 24 h at (20 ± 2) °C and (65 ± 3) % relative humidity prior to conditioning and testing. During pre-conditioning and conditioning, specimens shall be placed on a rack or other suitable support that allows free circulation of air around them. Whenever tests are made in uncontrolled conditions, e.g. tests on installed floors, the ambient temperature and relative humidity at the time of measurement shall be recorded. 6 Test methods for footwear and flooring in combination with a person 6.1 Floor covering sampling and specimen preparation for laboratory tests Sampling and selection of specimens for laboratory tests shall be carried out according to the principles specified in ISO 1957. For the purposes of this standard, the general principles of ISO 1957 apply to all types of floor covering. From each sample select a specimen measuring (2 ± 0,1) m × (1 ± 0,1) m or, in the case of tiles, select sufficient tiles and/or part tiles to make up a single specimen area of (2 ± 0,1) m × (1 ± 0,1) m. For tests on floor coverings that will be installed with specific earth connections, a groundable point shall be attached to the test specimen in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, or as otherwise agreed, and in a way that simulates end use earthing methods. For chargeability tests on floor coverings that will be installed without specific earth connections, groundable points sh
