Body Voltage Meter

Installation, Operation and Maintenance

Description

The Desco 

19431

 Body Voltage Meter is a portable 

measuring system that allows analysis of charge levels 

accumulated on the human body according to ANSI/

ESD STM97.2. The Body Voltage Meter measurement 

may be logged using internal memory. Logged 

measurements can be exported and further reviewed on 

a PC. Graphs of measurements can be displayed on the 

LCD display for quick evaluation. 
Each Body Voltage Meter is calibrated with accepted 

procedures and standards traceable to the National 

Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and 

includes a NIST certificate.

September 2021

“A compliance verification plan shall be established to 

ensure the organization’s fulfilment of the requirements 

of the plan. Process monitoring (measurements) shall be 

conducted in accordance with a compliance verification 

plan that identifies the technical requirements to be 

verified, the measurement limits and the frequency at 

which those verifications shall occur. The compliance 

verification plan shall document the test methods 

used for process monitoring and measurements. If the 

organization uses different test methods to replace 

those of this standard, the organization shall be able 

to show that the results achieved correlate with the 

referenced standards. Where test methods are devised 

for testing items not covered in this standard, these shall 

be adequately documented including corresponding 

test limits. Compliance verification records shall be 

established and maintained to provide evidence of 

conformity to the technical requirements. The test 

equipment selected shall be capable of making the 

measurements defined in the compliance verification 

plan.” (EN 61340-5-1 clause 5.2.4)
