scope:

This standard practice establishes a measurement technique, under recommended conditions, to periodically determine offset voltage (ion balance) and discharge (neutralization) time for ionizers in their actual use locations. This standard practice does not include measurements of electromagnetic interference (EMI), or uses of ionizers in connection with ordnance, flammables, explosive items or electrically initiated explosive devices.

PURPOSE

This standard practice provides test methods and procedures for periodic verification of the performance of air ionization equipment and systems (ionizers).
