Collection: Personnel testers

Wrist straps and ESD footwear can malfunction over time, and visual inspection does not always reveal damage or loss of electrical continuity. Personnel grounding testers—such as ESD wrist strap testers and ESD footwear testers—verify that grounding devices worn by staff entering an ESD Protected Area (EPA) remain effective and within the required resistance limits.

Routine testing of personnel grounding devices supports compliance with BS EN 61340-5-1, which recommends verifying the functionality of wrist straps and footwear used for grounding personnel. Installing testers at EPA entrances helps ensure operators are properly grounded before accessing static-sensitive environments.

Our range includes cost-effective testers for routine checks, advanced models with data-logging for traceability, and entry-control systems that restrict EPA access until grounding is verified, helping organisations maintain reliable personnel grounding and support ESD compliance.
