Overview
EN 1149-1:2006 - "Protective clothing - Electrostatic properties - Part 1: Test method for measurement of surface resistivity" is a CEN European Standard that specifies a laboratory test method to measure surface resistivity / surface resistance of materials intended for electrostatic dissipative protective clothing or gloves. The method is intended to assess materials that rely on surface conductivity to avoid incendiary discharges; it is explicitly not applicable to garments designed to protect against mains voltages.
Key topics and requirements
- Test principle: specimen placed on an insulating base plate; a concentric electrode assembly (inner cylindrical and outer annular electrodes) rests on the specimen; DC potential applied and resistance measured.
- Apparatus: concentric stainless-steel electrodes, insulating flat base plate (surface resistivity ≥ 10^14 Ω), ohmmeter (range 10^5 to 10^14 Ω), cleaning agent (e.g., propan‑2‑ol or ethanol).
- Specimens and conditioning:
- Five specimens (or five locations on an uncut garment) without seams; pre‑treatment per manufacturer or five cleaning cycles (EN 340:2003).
- Conditioning and test atmosphere: (23 ± 1) °C and (25 ± 5) % relative humidity (surface resistance is humidity‑sensitive).
- Procedure:
- Clean electrodes and base plate, perform blank insulation test, apply (100 ± 5) V and measure resistance after (15 ± 1) s.
- If R < 10^5 Ω, note use of lower voltage or measure current and calculate resistance.
- Calculation:
- Surface resistivity ρ = k × R, where k is the electrode geometrical factor (for the specified electrode k = 19.8).
- Report the geometric mean of five measurements.
- Reporting: include reference to EN 1149-1, date, test atmosphere, sample details, individual and geometric mean values, and any deviations.
Practical applications
- Material manufacturers assessing electrostatic dissipative performance of fabrics, coatings and laminates.
- PPE manufacturers verifying materials used in electrostatic-dissipative garments or gloves.
- Independent test laboratories performing standardized surface resistivity testing for compliance and quality control.
- Safety and process engineers in industries with flammable atmospheres (petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, electronics assembly) using electrostatic-dissipative PPE to reduce ignition risk.
Who should use this standard
- PPE designers, manufacturers and quality managers
- Accredited testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
- Safety professionals specifying electrostatic-dissipative clothing for hazardous workplaces
Related standards
- EN 1149 series (other parts cover vertical resistance, charge decay and performance requirements)
- EN 340:2003 (protective clothing - general requirements)
- Annex ZA of EN 1149-1 links the method to EU Directive 89/686/EEC for Personal Protective Equipment (as noted in the standard)
This standard is essential when evaluating surface conductivity properties of materials intended for electrostatic dissipative protective clothing and helps ensure consistent, documented test results for safety-critical applications.
