Description

ESD STM3.1 – Ionization

This document provides test methods and procedures for evaluating and selecting air ionizationequipment and systems (ionizers).

This standard test method establishes measurement techniques, under specified conditions, to determine offset voltage (ion balance) and discharge time (charge neutralization time) for ionizers. This standard test method does not include measurements of electromagnetic interference (EMI), or uses of ionizers in connection with ordnance, flammables, explosive items, or electrically initiated explosive devices.
