EMIT - Questions And Answers

I am looking for some sort of a meter or ESD scanner/gun to check the compliance of smocks to ESD. If there's no such thing, could you suggest some alternatives? -Anonymous, Paranaque, Philippines

The ESD Association’s (http://esda.org ) standard for Garments which include Smocks ESD STM2.1-1997, section 5.1.1, suggests a Self-contained resistance meters (i.e., megohmmeter) or power supplies and current meters in the appropriate configuration for resistance measurement within a +10 % accuracy shall be utilized. The equipment shall be capable of open circuit voltage of 100+10 volts D.C. Both test leads must be isolated from ground. Use electrodes in accordance with ANSI/EOS/ESD S4.1.
