The majority of national and international standards with electrostatics in their scope are concerned with controlling the hazards and undesirable effects of static electricity. There are some standards that relate to applications of static electricity, electrophotographic printing for example, but these are not included in this review. This review is far from comprehensive, but is confined to some of the standards with which the author is most familiar and in the development of which the author has participated. Many of these are in the IEC 61340 series of electrostatic standards [10-27], including the core system standard for protection of electronic devices, IEC 61340-5-1 [23]. Also in the IEC 61340 series are standards for healthcare facilities and new projects to develop guidance for office areas and public spaces. The system standard for controlling electrostatic hazards in explosive atmospheres is IEC TS 60079-32-1 [2], which is supported by a testing standard IEC 60079-32-2 [3]. These two standards are under revision at the time of writing and some issues that might be considered in the revision are also discussed in this review.

大多数涉及静电的国家和国际标准都与控制静电的危害和不良影响有关。有一些标准与静电的应用有关，例如电子照相印刷，但这些不包括在本次审查中。这篇评论远非全面，但仅限于作者最熟悉的一些标准，并且作者参与了这些标准的制定。其中许多属于 IEC 61340 系列静电标准 [10-27]，包括电子设备保护的核心系统标准 IEC 61340-5-1 [23]。IEC 61340 系列中还有医疗设施标准和新项目标准，用于为办公区和公共空间制定指南。控制爆炸性环境中的静电危害的系统标准是 IEC TS 60079-32-1 [2]，它得到了测试标准 IEC 60079-32-2 [3] 的支持。在撰写本文时，这两项标准正在修订中，本次审查还讨论了修订中可能考虑的一些问题。
