Static Bleed off Requirements

Just earth it onto something. As far as static charge is concerned, it's a v.good conductor.

Wrap it up in aluminium foil (cooking foil) that will keep it nice bright and shiney as well as static safe

UL1203 - (Equipment for use in Hazardous Locations) states that:

33.4 Test for accumulation of static electricity
33.4.1 General
33.4.1.1 A nonmetallic external part with an area greater than 15.5 inch2 (100 cm2) shall comply with either the requirements in 33.4.2 or 33.4.3.
33.4.2 Method A
33.4.2.1 Any non-metallic surface with area greater than 15.5 inch2 (100 cm2) shall have a surface resistivity of 1 G-ohm or less at 23°C (73°F) and 50 percent relative humidity as defined by the material specifications or as determined by the test in 33.4.2.2.

33.4.2.2 The resistance is to be tested on the enclosure or on parts of the enclosure. Two parallel electrodes 0.04 inch (1 mm) in width, 4 inches (100 mm) in length, 0.4 inch (10 mm) apart are to be centered on a 6 by 2.4 inch (150 mm by 60 mm) sample. The sample is to be cleaned with distilled water, then with isopropyl alcohol, then once more with distilled water before being dried. Untouched by bare
hands, it is to be conditioned for 24 hours at 23°C (73°F) and 50 percent relative humidity. The test is to be carried out under the same conditions. A direct voltage of 500 ±10 Vdc is to be applied for one minute. The resistance is the quotient of the direct voltage applied at the electrodes to the total current flowing between them when the direct voltage has been applied for one minute.

Hope this helps

This is the best reply I received so far. Thanks a million.

Work shoes have a static dissipation requirement, with upper and lower values.

With high humidity static charges build slow and drain rapidly.

With low humidity static charges build faster and drain slowly.

If you are wearing silk underwear you can build enormous static charges that will require a superconductor to drain!
