IEC 93

IEC 93, also known as the International Electrotechnical Commission Standard 93, sets out precise standards for measuring the specific volume resistivity and the surface resistivity of plastics. This standard provides clear guidelines and methods for carrying out measurements to ensure that the results are consistent and comparable.

It serves as an important reference for manufacturers, engineers and testing laboratories to assess the electrical properties of plastic materials and to ensure that they meet the required standards for various applications. By accurately measuring these properties, potential problems relating to the electrical conductivity of plastics can be identified and remedied, which in turn improves the safety and reliability of electrical systems.
