Analogue Surface Resistance Test Kit
Operation and Maintenance
Description
The Vermason Analogue Surface Resistance Test Kit
is a portable battery-powered instrument designed to
measure resistance point-to-point (Rp-p) and surface to
ground (Rg). The meter is equipped with an automatic
test voltage selector. The test voltage will switch from
10 V to 100 V should the measured resistance exceed
1 x 10
5
ohms.
ESD protected area products should be tested:
A. Prior to installation to qualify for listing in user’s ESD
control plan. Approved ESD materials (see product
qualification table at EN 61340-5-1 Table 3 EPA
requirements).
B. During initial installation.
C. For periodic checks of installed products as part of
EN 61340-5-1 Compliance Verification testing per
EN 61340-2-3.

Compliance Verification Plan
“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)
