I wasn't going to respond to this one because I know of no standard, and I
don't know what you mean by AC, power frequency or rf.  But HP/Agilent
makes/used to make a bond meter with a 1 kHz signal.  The purpose was partly
to offset the effects of galvanic potentials: an ac measurement cancles the
dc galvanic potential out.
