    EN IEC 61340-5-1   


Electrostatics -
Part 5-1 : Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena - General requirements.


All shoes standardized to EN ISO 20435 : 2011 (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5) are antistatic but they are not necessarily ESD.

For this, these shoes must comply with EN IEC 61340-5-1 and be tested according to EN IEC 61340-4-3 (Electrostatics - Standardized test methods for specific applications - Footwear).
 
This standard describes a controlled electrostatic discharge allowing the protection of equipment.
 
The shoes conform to this standard are :
Dissipative : Shoes tested according to EN IEC 61340-4-3 with an electrical resistance R  ≤  1,0  x 108  Ω.
(see personnel grounding requirements as per EN 61340-5-1)

The electrostatic properties of materials depend on environmental conditions.
