Grounding points should be tested daily before use and whenever the work surface is moved or modified, following ANSI/ESD S20.20 and ISO 61340-5-1 requirements for continuous monitoring of ESD control items.
Yes, large work surfaces typically require multiple grounding points spaced no more than 1.5 meters apart to ensure uniform grounding potential across the entire surface area.
Regular cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to remove contaminants, periodic inspection for physical damage, and verification of electrical continuity using a surface resistance tester or megohmmeter.
