Measuring Instruments and Testers

Wrist-strap, footwear and surface testers, together with instruments for periodic EPA checks, help verify that ESD protection works not only when the workplace is set up, but also in everyday operation.

Testing wrist straps, footwear, work mats and floors is one of the basic requirements of the standards for EPA areas. The right tester or measuring instrument lets you verify the parameters of individual elements, archive the results and support internal audits and inspections.

  • Wrist-strap and footwear testers for entry into the EPA
  • Instruments for measuring the surface resistance of mats, workbenches and floors
  • Support for audits, verification and periodic equipment checks
Measurement and control

What measurement and testing address

Setting up an EPA area is not the end of the job. Without regular measurement and testing you cannot prove that the protection really works — and that is the first thing an audit asks about.

Checking entry into the EPA

Wrist-strap and footwear testers confirm before each shift that the worker meets the conditions for entering the protected area.

Surface-resistance measurement

Handheld resistance meters verify the parameters of mats, worktops and floors right on site.

Verifying that elements work

Regular testing reveals worn wrist straps, cables or damaged surfaces before they cause any harm.

Evidence for the audit

Measured values and records serve as proof of functioning ESD protection during internal and customer audits.

Regularity of checks

Testing before each shift and periodic measurement keep the protection working in everyday operation too.

Choosing the right instrument

Based on the type of operation we recommend a tester, resistance meter or a combined solution for the whole workplace.

Part of the whole

Measurement as part of the entire EPA system

Measuring instruments and testers are not a stand-alone add-on. They build on grounding, work surfaces, floors and entry into the EPA, and answer the question of whether the whole system is working as it should. That is why we choose the instruments according to what needs to be verified regularly.

When to address it

When measurement and testing make sense

New workplace

You are setting up a new EPA workplace

After installation, you need to verify that the individual elements really meet the required parameters.

Everyday operation

You need regular checks

Wrist-strap and footwear testers at the entrance keep the protection working every day, not just on paper.

Audit

You are preparing for an audit

We will recommend the instruments and a way of recording results so you can demonstrate the protection.

Process

How choosing measuring instruments works

Step 1

You describe what you need to verify

We want to know which elements are tested, how often and who carries out the measurement.

Step 2

We recommend suitable instruments

We select wrist-strap and footwear testers, resistance meters and accessories to match your operation.

Step 3

We set up the checking method

We help with the measurement procedure, recording the results and linking them to the audit.

From the knowledge base

Not sure what to measure and how often? An audit shows what is verified and what the outputs are.
