FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61340-5-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 101:
Electrostatics.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2007. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 61340 covers the requirements necessary to design, establish, implement
and maintain an electrostatic discharge (ESD) control program for 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 greater than or equal to 100 V human body model (HBM), 200 V
charged device model (CDM) and 35 V on isolated conductors. Isolated conductors were
historically represented by machine model (MM). The 35 V limit is related to the level
achievable using ionizers specified in this standard. The MM test is no longer required for
qualification of devices, only the HBM and CDM tests are. The MM test is retained in this
standard for process control of isolated conductors only.
Any contact and physical separation of materials or flow of solids, liquids, or particle-laden
gases can generate electrostatic charges. Common sources of ESD include charged:
personnel, conductors, common polymeric materials, and processing equipment. ESD
damage can occur when:
• a charged person or object comes into contact with an ESD sensitive device (ESDS);
• an ESDS comes into direct contact with a highly conductive surface while exposed to an
electrostatic field;
• a charged ESDS comes into contact with another conductive surface which is at a different
electrical potential. This surface may or may not be grounded.
Examples of ESDS are microcircuits, discrete semiconductors, thick and thin film resistors,
hybrid devices, printed circuit boards and piezoelectric crystals. It is possible to determine
device and item susceptibility by exposing the device to simulated ESD events. The ESD
withstand voltage determined by sensitivity tests using simulated ESD events does not
necessarily represent the ability of the device to withstand ESD from real sources at that
voltage level. However, the levels of sensitivity are used to establish a baseline of
susceptibility data for comparison of devices with equivalent part numbers from different
manufacturers. Three different models have been used for qualification of electronic
components – human body model (HBM), machine model (MM), and charged device model
(CDM). In current practice devices are qualified only using HBM and CDM susceptibility tests.
This standard covers the ESD control program requirements necessary for setting up a
program to handle ESDS, based on the historical experience of both military and commercial
organizations. The fundamental ESD control principles that form the basis of this standard are
as follows.
• Avoid a discharge from any charged, conductive object (personnel and especially
automated handling equipment) into the ESDS. This can be accomplished by bonding or
electrically connecting all conductors in the environment, including personnel, to a known
ground or contrived ground (as on board ship or on aircraft). This attachment creates an
equipotential balance between all conducting objects and personnel. Electrostatic
protection can be maintained at a potential different from a “zero” voltage ground potential
as long as all conductive objects in the system are at the same potential.
• Avoid a discharge from any charged ESD sensitive device. Charging can result from direct
contact and separation or it can be induced by an electric field. Necessary insulators in
the environment cannot lose their electrostatic charge by attachment to ground. Ionization
systems provide neutralization of charges on these necessary insulators (circuit board
materials and some device packages are examples of necessary insulators). The ESD
hazard created by electrostatic charges on the necessary insulators in the work place is
assessed to ensure that appropriate actions are implemented, according to the risk.
• Once outside of an electrostatic discharge protected area (hereinafter referred to as an
EPA) it is generally not possible to control the above items, therefore, ESD protective
packaging may be required. ESD protection can be achieved by enclosing ESD sensitive
products in static protective materials, although the type of material depends on the
situation and destination. Inside an EPA, static dissipative materials may provide

– 6 – IEC 61340-5-1:2016 © IEC 2016
adequate protection. Outside an EPA, static discharge shielding materials are
recommended. Whilst all of these materials are not discussed in this standard, it is
important to recognize the differences in their application. For more information see
IEC 61340-5-3.
Each company has different processes, and so will require a different blend of ESD
prevention measures for an optimum ESD control program. Measures should be selected,
based on technical necessity and carefully documented in an ESD control program plan, so
that all concerned can be sure of the program requirements.
Training is an essential part of an ESD control program in order to ensure that the personnel
involved understand the equipment and procedures they are to use in order to be in
compliance with the ESD control program plan. Training is also essential in raising awareness
and understanding of ESD issues. Without training, personnel are often a major source of
ESD risk. With training, they become an effective first line of defence against ESD damage.
Regular compliance verification checks and tests are essential to ensure that equipment
remains effective and that the ESD control program is correctly implemented in compliance
with the ESD control program plan.

electrostatic phenomena – General requirements

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61340 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”).
NOTE Isolated conductors were historically represented by MM.
