ESD Smock Testing Procedure for ANSI / ESD S20.20

Comparing ESD STM 2.1 and ESD TR53 in the context of ESD Smock Testing

ESD Smock testing procedure requires the fabric to be measured as “static dissipative” on the Ohms scale and to be grounded (bonded electrically to a grounding system) so that it is not an isolated floating conductor. In this article, we review how ANSI / ESD S20.20-2021 defines ESD Smocks and explain the “isolated floating conductor” issue with wearing ESD clothing.
