Scope

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).
