This Recommended Practice (RP), IEST-RP-CC022.2, discusses methods for specifying and evaluating the effectiveness of techniques for controlling electrostatic charge. Proper control of electrostatic charge may reduce particulate contamination on surfaces and the likelihood of electrostatic discharge. This document, which describes typical control systems and their applications, also lists methods of testing and measurement of charge generation, charge neutralization, resistivity of surfaces and materials, and static field attenuation.

Electrostatic Charge in Cleanrooms and Other Controlled Environments was prepared by Working Group 022 of the IEST Contamination Control Division (WG-CC022).
