I have always found it hard to find specifications for various makes and models of wrist strap testers and I am currently having this problem. Of course, it's easy to find at what resistance they should change states but not an actual specification.
I do recall seeing somewhere a general, possibly a government publication, listing specification for static testing that appeased the auditors. Does any know of such a publication, or something similar?
Thank you.
i know when we did PM's of the mats and the testers before the days of these fancy red light green light testers, we just measured the resistance but the readings were specific to that strap model number. here are some references i found pertaining to ESD.
ANSI/ESD S8.1-1993
"ESD Awareness Symbols"
ANSI/ESD S20.20
"ESD Association Standard for the Development of an Electrostatic Discharge
Control Program"
ESD STM5.1-2001
"Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity Testing -- Human Body Model (HBM)
Component Level"
MIL-HDBK-263
"Electrostatic Discharge Control Handbook for Protection of Electrical and
Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment (excluding electrically-initiated
explosive devices)"

have fun!
