Warmbier - ESD protection and ESD measurement technology
Wolfgang Warmbier is a German manufacturer and system supplier for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in electronics manufacturing. The focus is on ESD measurement and testing: high-resistance meters, charged plate monitors, ionizer testers and complete measuring and verification kits for the ongoing monitoring of an ESD protected area (EPA).
The range is rounded out by dissipative equipment such as ESD floor coverings, polyester films, separating underlays and accessories. This allows an EPA to be set up in line with IEC 61340-5-1 and, just as importantly, to be verified continuously by measurement - Made in Germany.

Choosing the right Warmbier ESD equipment
Measure or monitor?
For one-off or periodic testing of resistances (floor, bench, wrist strap), high-resistance meters such as the Metriso 3000 or the Metriso B530 basic kit are the right choice. For continuous verification of ionizers, use charged plate monitors and ionizer testers instead.
Which test kit?
- Metriso measuring kits: resistance and dissipation measurement per IEC 61340-5-1, with electrodes and case.
- Walking test kit: assessment of the person-shoe-floor system including evaluation software.
- Verification kit (SRM 200): fast on-site checks in the EPA.
Set up and prove the EPA
Dissipative floor coverings (Ecostat), separating underlays and ESD polyester films form the basic equipment of the protected area. The matching measurement technology then documents that the required limit values are being met.
Which ESD test for what?
| Criterion | Resistance measurement | Walking test | Charged plate monitor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Measured quantity | Resistance to ground / dissipation | Person-shoe-floor system | Discharge time / offset voltage |
| Typical device | Metriso 3000 / B530 | Walking test kit WT5000 | CPM 74 / CPM35 |
| Test object | Floor, bench, wrist strap | Person wearing ESD footwear | Ionizer / discharge |
| Result | Resistance in ohms | Pass/fail with readings | Discharge time and offset voltage |
| Use | Setup and periodic testing | Personnel qualification | Ionizer verification |
| Reference | IEC 61340-5-1 | IEC 61340-4-5 | IEC 61340-4-7 |

Frequently asked questions about Warmbier
What does the Warmbier brand stand for?
Wolfgang Warmbier is a German manufacturer of products for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. The range focuses on ESD measurement and testing technology as well as dissipative equipment for electronics manufacturing.
What is an ESD high-resistance meter like the Metriso 3000?
A high-resistance meter measures very high resistances, from the kilohm range up to the teraohm range. It is used to determine and document the resistance to ground and dissipation of ESD floors, work surfaces and personnel equipment in line with IEC 61340-5-1.
What does a charged plate monitor do?
A charged plate monitor (CPM) tests ionizers by charging a defined metal plate and measuring the discharge time and the residual (offset) voltage. This verifies whether an ionizer neutralises static charges reliably and in a balanced way.
What is an ESD walking test kit used for?
A walking test evaluates the combined system of person, ESD footwear and floor. As the person walks, the body voltage that occurs is measured and compared with limit values to prove that people in the EPA are adequately grounded.
Are Warmbier products suitable for building an EPA per IEC 61340-5-1?
Yes. Warmbier supplies both the dissipative base equipment such as floor coverings, films and separating underlays, and the measurement technology and test kits needed to set up an ESD protected area (EPA) and verify its limit values by measurement.
