What is ISO 3915 – Resistivity of conductive plastics about?
There are some problems encountered in the measurement of resistivity of conductive plastics, namely the sensitivity of these materials to their temperature-history and strain-history, and the difficulty of making adequate electrical contact with them. ISO 3915 specifies the requirements for the laboratory testing of the resistivity of specially prepared specimens of plastics rendered conductive by the inclusion of conductive fillers or suitable modification of the structure. The test is applicable to materials of resistivity less than 10 6 Ω⋅cm (10 4 Ω⋅m).
The result is not strictly a volume resistivity, because of surface conduction, but the effects of the latter are generally negligible.
