The screw torque is specified in several standards, but the acceptance criterion is usually the high-current resistance test. It's really up to the manufacturer of the product to specify the requirements of the washer, which must be double-sided so that it doesn't matter which way up it is installed.

Notice that it is common to use external toothed star washer to cut through the paint on metal enclosure instead of removing the paint for earthing.  The connection effectiveness may be affected with following things

  * Sharpness of teeth on washer (some toothed washers are single
    sided instead of 2-sided)
  * Material of washer
  * Paint thickness
  * Screw torque

Is there any standard to give the guidance of minimum requirement for this purpose?

Thanks and regards,

Scott
