A Minute with Miranda – Testing an ESD Worksurface Mat

Welcome back to “A Minute with Miranda.” This week we will be covering how to perform the Rtt and Rtg test on an ESD Worksurface Mat.

Before using a worksurface mat in an EPA environment, you need to verify that the mat will meet the ANSI/ESD S20.20 Worksurface Requirements.
For both the Rtt and Rtg test the worksurface should test between 1 x 106 to less than 1 x 109 ohms. The test should be performed in accordance to the ANSI/ESD S4.1 Standards.

SCS worksurface mats meet the ANSI/ESD STM4.1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 required limit of 1 x 10^6 to less than 1 x 10^9 ohms for Rtt and Rtg and the recommendations of ANSI/ESD S4.1.
