T47-132

<p>ISO 2878:2005 specifies a method of determining the electrical resistance of antistatic and conductive products manufactured wholly or in part from rubber whose electrical resistance measured between defined points, when new, does not exceed 3 times 10⁸ohms and whose conductivity is derived from the addition of carbon black and/or other appropriate substances to the bulk of the material.</p> <p>This International Standard specifies the electrode configuration for basic geometries but reference should be made to relevant product specifications for requirements for specific products.</p> <p>It does not apply to:</p> <ol><li>products were the relevant surfaces are composed of mixtures of insulating and conductive areas;</li><li>products with a substantial surface area of insulating material (except for footwear, which does not normally have a conductive or antistatic upper).</li></ol>
