Electrostatic properties of products
Tests of electrostatic properties of products are carried out in a climate chamber with the following parameters:
- chamber capacity: 21 m3;
- lock capacity: 8 m 3;
- temperature range: from 16oC to 30 oC;
- relative humidity range: from 4% to 80%.
We carry out tests on the basis of standardised and own methods.
The scope of test activities is given in the table below. The tests are carried out within the framework of the AB005 accreditation.
In addition, we comprehensively realise the EPA zones (ESD Protected Area):
- EPA zones audits.
- we carry out the projects of zones;
- implementation of the zones;
