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.
