This International Standard specifies the maximum electrical resistance of a conveyor belt and the
corresponding test method.
The test is intended to ensure that the belt is sufficiently conductive to avoid the accumulation of electrical
static charge which may be developed during service use.
This International Standard is not suitable or applicable to light conveyor belts as described by EN 873[1], the
static electrical properties of which are measured by EN 1637[2].
Durch die Prüfung wird festgestellt, ob der Fördergurt genügend leitfähig ist, um elektrische Ladungen, die sich während der Benutzung bilden können, abzuleiten.
