"This document applies to all gloves and finger cots used as part of a user defined Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Control Program. This document is intended to provide test procedures for measuring the electrical resistance of gloves or finger cots. Intrinsic resistance measurements include surface@ volume@ and point-to-point resistance using ANSI/ESD STM11.11@ STM11.12@ and STM11.13@ respectively. ""In-use"" resistance measurement of the glove/finger cot and personnel together as a system is defined using a constant area force electrode (CAFE). The resistance of the glove or finger cot may be much lower during use than its intrinsic resistance due to the interior of the glove/finger cot becoming hydrated once it is placed on the hand/finger of the operator. Purpose This document provides test procedures for measuring the intrinsic electrical resistance of gloves and finger cots@ as well as their electrical resistance@ together with personnel as a system. The system test provides data that are relevant to the user's specific environment and application."
