Note: In some environments, for the purpose of safety, it is necessary to reduce the charge of human body to below 0.05 μC, or reduce the electrostatic voltage of human body to below 500 V. The above industries can wear static protective clothing meeting the requirements of 4.2.8.3 according to the protection requirements, because it is difficult for static protective clothing to dissipate the charge generated by human body to below the safety limit in time by corona discharge, and the electrostatic electric field generated by friction of the inner clothing covered by static protective clothing may also cause harm to the surrounding equipment. Electric charge, as a grounding path, is transmitted to the ground from clothing and human body through wristbands and grounding wires.
5 Test method
5.1 Lay the fabric or clothing on the table top, and observe it 1.5 m away from the product under good lighting conditions. No warp break, weft break, damage and stain are allowed.
5.2 The samples are taken from the different position of the fabrics and liner for testing the formaldehyde content according to the method specified in GB/T 2912.1.
5.3 The samples are taken from the different position of the fabrics and liner for testing the pH values according to the method specified in GB/T 7573.
