Why ESD Testing Matters

Static damage can occur long before an operator notices a discharge. Regular testing of wrist straps, heel straps, grounding cords, mats and flooring ensures your ESD control system is working as expected. Accurate testing helps you:

  • Reduce component failures
  • Prevent latent damage
  • Meet industry standards
  • Improve product reliability
  • Keep your EPA fully compliant

Bondline’s test equipment is CE, UKCA, RoHS and REACH compliant and manufactured to the highest quality standards.

Our ESD Test Equipment Range

We offer a wide selection of static testing instruments for electronics manufacturing, repair facilities and cleanrooms:

  • Wrist Strap Testers Quickly check operator grounding before entering the EPA. Wrist strap testers help ensure personnel remain properly grounded throughout the shift.
  • Surface Resistivity Meters Measure the surface resistance of workbenches, mats, floors, and packaging. These meters help ensure your EPA surfaces fall within the correct resistance range.
  • Constant Monitors Continuous monitoring systems track wrist strap, bench mat and Earth connection performance in real time, offering instant alerts if grounding is lost.
  • Field Meters Used for measuring electrostatic charge levels on equipment, tools and materials. Essential for identifying problem areas within your EPA.

Footwear & Personnel Grounding Testers

Ideal for facilities using ESD flooring with heel straps or footwear. These testers measure resistance-to-ground and help confirm the footwear or heel straps are performing correctly.

Testing for Standing and Mobile Operations

If your team uses ESD footwear with approved ESD flooring, personnel must meet at least one of the following:

  • Resistance to ground under 3.5 × 10⁷ Ω
  • Body voltage generation under 100 volts

Using a megaohmmeter makes this easy to verify. We recommend testing your footwear and flooring system at least twice a year to ensure consistent performance.

EPA Testing and Maintenance

Your Electrostatic Protected Area is the core of your static control program. To keep it compliant:

  • Test workstations, floor mats and grounding points monthly
  • Check ionisers and airflow units regularly
  • Test all ESD control instruments annually
  • Keep clear records for audits and quality checks

Recommended resistance-to-ground ranges include:

  • Work surfaces: 7.5 × 10⁵ Ω – 1 × 10⁹ Ω
  • Floors: ≤ 1 × 10⁹ Ω
  • Seating: ≤ 1 × 10¹⁰ Ω
  • Tools: ≤ 1 × 10⁹ Ω

Calibration Services

All Bondline test equipment is supplied with traceable calibration certificates. Annual calibration is recommended to maintain accuracy and meet compliance requirements. For calibration of Bondline test equipment, please get in touch on 01793 511000 or email [email protected].

Expert Advice for Using ESD Test Equipment

  • A green indicator shows the outlet is correctly wired and grounded
  • A red indicator highlights wiring or grounding issues
  • Ensure work surfaces meet 10⁸ ohms for compliance
  • Replace worn wrist straps, cords and heel straps immediately
  • Review test results regularly to spot trends or failures
