BS EN IEC 61340-4-3:2018 describes a test method for determining the electrical resistance of
footwear (shoes, slippers or booties) used in the control of electrostatic potential on people.
This document is suitable for use by the manufacturer of footwear as well as the end user. A
method for measuring the electrical resistance of footwear alone is described and serves as a
qualification test or an acceptance test for new footwear, or as a periodic test of in-use
footwear.Although this document does not include requirements for personal safety, footwear used
within the scope of this document in all places of work is regulated by the relevant local
statutory requirements regarding the health and safety of all persons.Insulating footwear is not included within the scope of this document although the electrical
resistance measurement techniques can be applicable.Cross References:IEC 62631-3-1EN 62631-3-2EN 62631-3-1IEC 62631-3-3IEC 62631-3-2EN 62631-3-3IEC 61340-2-3EN 61340-2-3All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
