EUROLAB Laboratory accredited to ISO 18080-1:2015 Textiles - Test methods for evaluating the electrostatic tendency of fabrics - Part 1: Our testing services using corona loading. ISO 18080-1:2015 specifies a test method using corona loading with measurement of the peak voltage and load decay time affected on fabric samples or any composition and structure.
The test methods described may not be suitable for the evaluation of clothing and clothing materials regarding personnel safety and protection of electrostatic discharge sensitive devices.
Test methods are required to assess the tendency of fabrics used to make garments designed to avoid problems with electrostatic charging. Test methods are specified in a number of National and International Standards, including those published by ISO and IEC. However, the relationship between measurable electrostatic properties and end-use performance is quite complex and may require a combination of different testing methods, depending on the application.
The test method described in this International Standard is one of a number of test methods that can be used to evaluate the electrostatic tendency of textile materials. Exact performance requirements are not given, but guidance on the interpretation of results is given in the informative standard. The qualitative interpretation scheme is based on industry anecdotal experience in controlling the tack, nuisance shocks and attraction of particulate pollutants. However, it is provided for guidance only and users of this International Standard are advised to check its validity for their own application.
Another similar standard, IEC 61340-2-1, defines an alternative test method that can be used to determine the electrostatic tendency of fabrics and clothing using corona charging.
This part of ISO 18080 specifies a test method using corona loading with measurement of the peak voltage and charge decay time affected on fabric samples or any composition and structure.
The test methods described may not be suitable for the evaluation of clothing and clothing materials regarding personnel safety and protection of electrostatic discharge sensitive devices.
