Gives information and advice on methods for making reliable measurements of electrostatic phenomena and the relevant properties of materials.

This Part of BS 7506 provides information and guidance on methods for making reliable measurements of electrostatic phenomena and the relevant properties of materials.

This Part comprises the following:

• review of basic electrostatics;
• outline of the range of problems caused by static;
• consideration of the role of materials and description of methods to minimize charge generation and achieve safe dissipation of static charge;
• consideration of electrostatic applications;
• recommendations for the control of the test environment conditions;
• general consideration of the basic recommendations for reliable measurement of electrostatic parameters.
