An SD (static dissipative) footwear tester checks whether SD-safe shoes are within the required resistance range so personnel grounding remains effective. Sole-Mate™ is Newson Gale’s static dissipative footwear tester: it measures footwear resistance against common guidance (e.g., NFPA 77 and IEC TS 60079-32-1) and provides a clear PASS/FAIL indication with an audible alarm. It can also be interlocked with entry systems to help enforce compliance.

To test SD shoes (static dissipative footwear), you measure their electrical resistance to confirm they’re providing the correct controlled path to ground. Newson Gale’s Sole-Mate™ tester makes this simple: step onto the test plate, follow your site procedure, and read an instant PASS/FAIL result with clear LEDs and an audible alarm. Different versions match common footwear resistance ranges and can be integrated with access control to support your ESD program.
