Rubber — Antistatic and conductive products — Determination of electrical resistance ISO 2878:2005

Publication date:   Jun 29, 2005

Scope

ISO 2878:2005 specifies a method of determining the electrical resistance of antistatic and conductive products manufactured wholly or in part from rubber whose electrical resistance measured between defined points, when new, does not exceed 3 times 108 ohms and whose conductivity is derived from the addition of carbon black and/or other appropriate substances to the bulk of the material.
This International Standard specifies the electrode configuration for basic geometries but reference should be made to relevant product specifications for requirements for specific products.
It does not apply to:
products were the relevant surfaces are composed of mixtures of insulating and conductive areas;products with a substantial surface area of insulating material (except for footwear, which does not normally have a conductive or antistatic upper).
