Standards Development
The purpose of this document is to describe a set of methodologies, techniques, and tools that can be used to characterize a process where ESD sensitive (ESDS) items are handled. The process assessment covers risks by charged personnel, ungrounded conductors, charged ESDS items, and ESDS items in an electrostatic field.
This document applies to activities that manufacture, process, assemble, install, package, label, service, test, inspect, transport, or otherwise handle electrical or electronic parts, assemblies, and equipment susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharges. This document does not apply to electrically initiated explosive items, flammable liquids, or powders. The document does not address program management, compliance verification, troubleshooting, or program manager/coordinator certification. In this version of the document, risks due to electromagnetic sources that produce AC fields are not considered.
As electronic devices become more suspectable to damage from ESD events, techniques will need to be developed to understand the capability of ESD control processes. While IEC 61340-5-1 provides requirements and material limits, the document does not provide any requirements for the evaluation of the ESD control process.
This document will describe methods on how to evaluate and ESD control process. It shall be an essential tool for advanced technologies.
