Compliance verification equipment (periodic testing)

Compliance verification equipment is an instrument or collection of instruments that provide a periodic indication or measurement to verify the performance of ESD test equipment and materials. Measurements may or may not be repeatable or accurate. Compliance verification equipment is typically used for indications of pass or fail.

Compliance verification (periodic)

Compliance verification is the periodic testing done to indicate that the performance has not changed from initial baseline values to exceed selected limits.

Common ground point

Common point ground is a grounded device or location where the conductors of one or more ESD control items are bonded.

Common connection point

A common connection point is a device or location (less than 1 ohm within itself) where the conductors of two or more ESD technical elements are connected in order to bring the ungrounded ESD technical elements to the same electrical potential through equipotential bonding.

Charged plate monitor (CPM)

A charged plate monitor (CPM) is an instrument used to measure the charge neutralisation properties of ionisation equipment.

Charge induction

Charge induction is the displacement of charge in an isolated conductor when placed in an electric field (for example, from a charged body). Note: Momentary grounding of such a conductor would result in its gaining a net charge.

Charge decay

Charge decay is the decrease and/or neutralisation of a net electrostatic charge.

Breakaway force

Breakaway force is the force required to disconnect the ground cord from the cuff.

Bonding

Bonding is the permanent joining of metallic parts to form an electrically conductive path that will assure electrical continuity and the capacity to safely conduct any current likely to be imposed.

Auxiliary ground

Auxiliary ground is a separate supplemental grounding conductor for uses other than general equipment grounding.
