Grounding Requirements for Personnel
The information in this section is provided to assist you in selecting a
grounding method. This information is taken from ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007
(Revision of ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999).
Product qualification is normally conducted during the initial selection of
ESD control products and materials. Any of the following methods can be
used: product specification review, independent laboratory evaluation, or
internal laboratory evaluation.
* For situations where an ESD garment is used as part of the wrist strap
grounding path, the total system resistance, including the person, garment,
and grounding cord, must be less than 3.5 x 10
7
ohm.
