Comprises standard methods of measurement, providing reliable means of determining the values of the properties of materials relevant to electrostatic phenomena.

This Part of BS 7506 comprises standard methods of measurement, providing reliable means of determining the values of those properties of materials relevant to electrostatic phenomena. The range of values of a property which is significant to electrostatic effects is limited, and it is only useful to measure such a property within this range (for example resistance values between 10⁶Ω and 10¹⁰Ω). For this reason, simpler procedures are acceptable, and fewer problems of interpretation arise. For precise measurements of properties outside these ranges reference should be made to more specialized standard methods and to relevant scientific literature.
