3、rsion of EN 61340-4-3:2001. It is identical with IEC 61340-4-3:2001. The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee GEL/101, Electrostatics, which has the responsibility to: - - aid enquirers to understand the text; present to the responsible European committee any enqu
4、iries on the interpretation, or proposals for change, and keep the UK interests informed; monitor related international and European developments and promulgate them in the UK. - A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. From 1 January 1997, a
5、ll IEC publications have the number 60000 added to the old number. For instance, IEC 27-1 has been renumbered as IEC 60027-1. For a period of time during the change over from one numbering system to the other, publications may contain identifiers from both systems. Cross-references The British Stand

O BSI 7 February 2002 Page 3 EN IS0 61340-4-32001 I NTRO DU CTIO N Footwear, especially shoes, have become an important electrostatic control dev
18、ice in all areas, but particularly in electronics manufacturing. Standards exist from various national committees and these have served as guidance in the preparation of this first International Standard for electrostatic control footwear. Control of unwanted electrostatic charge is of particular im
19、portance where personnel work around electrostatic-sensitive processes, materials or items. In many cases, devices such as wrist straps or other devices are employed to provide an electrical bond between a persons skin and a ground connection. Many instances exist in industry where wrist straps or o
20、ther tethering devices cannot be safely or conveniently applied, but there is still a need to provide a ground connection for personnel. A convenient method to provide a ground connection for personnel is through their feet while standing or walking on a defined and properly specified electrostatic
21、control floor surface. The measurement method described in this part of IEC 61340 can be used to monitor electrical specifications of footwear during manufacture, prior to selection by an end user or periodically during use. The method described involves the use of a specific set of test equipment a
22、nd instruments. Other equipment and instruments may be used to measure the parameters specified, but in the event of any dispute, the equipment, instruments and measurement method established in this standard apply.

23、d test methods for specific applications - Footwear 1 Scope This part of IEC 61340 describes a test method for determining the electrical resistance of footwear used in the control of electrostatic potential on people. This standard is suitable for use by the manufacturer of footwear as well as the
24、end user. A method for measuring the electrical resistance of footwear alone is described and serves as an acceptance test for new footwear. NOTE Although this standard does not include requirements for personal safety, attention is drawn to the need for all concerned to comply with the relevant loc
25、al statutory requirements regarding the health and safety of all persons in all places of work that use footwear defined by the test method of this standard. Insulating footwear is not included within the scope of this standard although the electrical resistance measurement techniques may be applica
