ESD STM7.1-2013 PDF Download

ESD STM7.1-2013 is a standard that focuses on the resistive characterization of floor materials. The purpose of this standard is to provide guidelines and procedures for measuring the electrical resistance of floor materials that are designed to control electrostatic charge and discharge. The standard includes test methods for qualifying floor materials before installation or application, as well as test methods for acceptance and monitoring of floor materials after installation.

The standard aims to ensure that the floor materials used in environments where electrostatic charging and discharging occur are suitable and effective in reducing the risks associated with electrostatic discharge. By measuring the electrical resistance of the floor materials, it becomes possible to assess their ability to dissipate static charges and maintain a safe level of electrostatic potential.

This standard provides a framework for conducting tests and obtaining consistent and reliable measurements of electrical resistance. It is important for organizations to comply with this standard to ensure that their selected floor materials meet the necessary requirements for electrostatic control, thereby minimizing the potential for damage to sensitive electronic components and equipment.
