14、nding of conductive and static dissipative materials, personnel, and equipment is the primary method used to limit static charge for the protection of electrostatic discharge susceptible items in the work environment. A static control program may include air or nitrogen ionization techniques to miti
15、gate charge on isolated conductors (conductors that are not grounded), and insulating materials (e.g., most common plastics). The ionization standard test method, ANSI/ESD STM3.1, defines test methods and instrumentation, the Charged Plate Monitor (CPM), for making discharge (charge neutralization)
16、time and offset voltage (ion balance) measurements of air ionization equipment in defined environments. These standard test methods are applicable for product qualification, selecting an air ionizer for a specific application, as well as subsequently determining that the incoming product meets the s
17、election criteria. The test instrumentation and methods of the standard test method are also usable for compliance verification of ionizer performance per ESD TR53. ANSI/ESD STM3.1 also contains additional information regarding ionizer physics, ionizer measurement issues, and sources of measurement
18、error. The user is advised to review ANSI/ESD STM3.1 before using the procedures described in this standard practice1. Detailed performance testing under laboratory conditions may be required during selection, product qualification, and acceptance testing due to the variety of environments in which
19、ionizers are used. Periodic and compliance verification, however, are most often performed under actual use conditions. In general, all ionizers must be tested, rather than a sampling of product types or incoming lots. Periodic verification procedures should also be part of the initial acceptance pr
20、ocess to provide a baseline for comparison with future measurements. Compliance verification may be necessary to meet audit requirements. ANSI/ESD STM3.1 is sufficient to be used for product qualification, selection or acceptance testing, as well as for compliance verification. However, these proced
21、ures require a typically expensive test instrument and a substantial amount of time to test each ionizer. The cost of this testing is often unacceptable for purposes of periodic verification. There is a need for a simpler verification procedure using less expensive, preferably portable, test equipme
22、nt. Periodic verification provides a relative measure of performance and can indicate when it is necessary to check the calibration of the ionizer under test with the CPM (refer to ANSI/ESD STM3.1). This standard practice presents a test procedure and instrumentation for periodic verification of ion
23、izers contained in the existing ionization standard test method ANSI/ESD STM3.1. The test procedure can be carried out under actual use conditions and is capable of rapidly demonstrating ionizer performance. Discharge times and offset voltage testing contained in the ionization standard test method
24、were adapted for this periodic test procedure. It is important that a simplified verification procedure correlate reasonably with CPM test results. The objective of the test procedure described in this document is to identify if a significant change in ionizer performance has occurred. The test setu
25、ps proposed are not meant to be a recommendation for any particular ionizer configuration. The wide variety of ionizers, and the environments within which they are used, will often require test setups different from those described in this standard practice. For purposes of periodic verification, it
26、 is important that ionizers are tested in their normal operating configuration. Users of this standard practice should 1 ESD Association Standard Practice: A procedure for performing one or more operations or functions that may or may not yield a test result. Note, if a test result is obtained it ma
27、y not be reproducible. ANSI/ESD SP3.3-2016 ii be prepared to adapt the test procedure and setups as required to produce meaningful data in their own application of ionizers. Similarly, the test procedure and conditions chosen in this standard practice do not represent a recommendation for acceptable
28、 ionizer performance. There is a wide range of item sensitivities to static charge. There is also a wide range of environmental conditions affecting the operation of ionizers. Performance specifications should be an agreement between the user and manufacturer of the ionizer in each application. Comp
29、liance with these specifications should be demonstrated during product qualification or selection and acceptance testing of the ionizers. Users of this standard practice will be able to establish baseline performance in the actual use location for their own application of ionizers. At any time in th
30、e future, using the same procedures in this standard practice, the user will be able to verify whether or not the ionizer is providing a comparable level of performance. The user will need to decide the extent of the data required for each application. This standard practice was originally designate
