Electrostatics - Part 5-1: Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena - General requirements

IEC 61340-5-1:2024 applies to organizations that: manufacture, process, assemble, install, package, label, service, test, inspect, transport, or otherwise handle electrical or electronic parts, assemblies and equipment with withstand voltages greater than or equal to 100 V human body model (HBM) and 200 V charge device model (CDM). Also, protection from isolated conductors is addressed by limiting the voltage on isolated conductors to less than 35 V. ESDS with lower withstand voltages can require additional control elements or adjusted limits. Processes designed to handle items that have lower ESD withstand voltage(s) can still claim compliance to this document. This document provides the requirements for an ESD control program. IEC TR 61340-5-2 provides guidance on the implementation of this document. This document does not apply to electrically initiated explosive devices, flammable liquids, gases, and powders. The purpose of this document is to provide the administrative and technical requirements for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an ESD control program (hereinafter referred to as the ?program?). This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) definitions have been added to the document;b) updates to product qualification requirements;c) subclause 5.3.3 now includes a reference to groundable static control garment systems;d) Table 2 was replaced;e) subclause 5.3.4.2 was updated to define what an insulator is;f) subclause 5.3.4.3 was updated to include a definition for isolated conductor;g) Table 3 was updated, technical items added, including a reference to IEC 61340-5-4 for compliance verification testing;h) Table 4 was added as a summary of the requirements in IEC 61340-5-3 and to include requirements for compliance verification of packaging;i) Annex A was replaced: the former Annex is no longer required. Annex A are examples of tailoring.

Electrostatics - Part 5-1: Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena - General requirements

IEC 61340-5-1:2016 applies to activities that: manufacture, process, assemble, install, package, label, service, test, inspect, transport or otherwise handle electrical or electronic parts, assemblies and equipment with withstand voltages greater than or equal to 100 V HBM, 200 V CDM and 35 V for isolated conductors. ESDS with lower withstand voltages may require additional control elements or adjusted limits. Processes designed to handle items that have lower ESD withstand voltage(s) can still claim compliance to this standard. This standard provides the requirements for an ESD control program. IEC TR 61340-5-2 [9] provides guidance on the implementation of this standard. This standard does not apply to electrically initiated explosive devices, flammable liquids, gases and powders. The purpose of this standard is to provide the administrative and technical requirements for establishing, implementing and maintaining an ESD control program (hereinafter referred to as the "program"). This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Technical requirements were changed to align IEC 61340-5-1 with other industry ESD standards; b) Reference documents were updated to reflect newly released IEC standards; c) A section on product qualification was added; d) Table 4 was deleted and detailed packaging requirements were deferred to IEC 61340-5-3; e) Clause A.1 was removed and is now included in IEC 61340-4-6. The contents of the corrigendum of May 2017 have been included in this copy.
