The Importance of Surface Resistance Testing in ESD Packaging

June 10, 2026

Surface resistance testing is the cornerstone of ESD packaging quality control. Here's what you need to know:

Testing Standards

Key standards include ANSI/ESD STM11.11 (surface resistance) and IEC 61340-2-3. AcePlas tests every production batch to these standards.

Measurement Setup

Tests should be performed at 100V DC with a defined electrode configuration. Results depend on temperature and humidity — testing should occur at 23±2°C and 12±3% RH for optimal accuracy.

Acceptance Criteria

Products must fall within their specified resistance range. Out-of-spec material is immediately quarantined and investigated.
