“Compliance verification should be performed prior to each use (daily, shift change, etc.). The accumulation of insulative materials may increase the foot grounder system resistance. If foot grounders are worn outside the ESD protected area testing for functionality before reentry to the ESD protected area should be considered.” (ESD SP9.2 APPENDIX B - Foot Grounder Usage Guidance)

“A log should be maintained which verifies that personnel have tested their personal grounding devices.” (ANSI/ESD S20.20 Paragraph 6.2.2.2 Personnel Grounding Guidance)

“Frequency of Functional Testing: The wrist strap system should be tested daily to ensure proper electrical value. Nominally, the upper resistance reading should be < or = 10 megohms or a user-defined value.” (ANSI/ESD S1.1-2006 Annex A3)

“In order to be effective the ESD coordinator needs … access to measuring equipment for the purposes of performing compliance verification audits as well as testing new ESD products and materials for use in the ESD program … management must provide the ESD coordinator with the authority and funding necessary to ensure that the ESD control program is maintained and enforced.” (TR 61340-5-2:2008 User guide clause 4.1.1 Assignment of an ESD coordinator)
