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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any

equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.

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 first edition cancels and replaces the technical specification published in 1998. It

constitutes a technical revision.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:

This version of IEC 61340-5-1 focuses on the requirements for an ESD control program. In

addition, this version of IEC 61340-5-1 has been aligned with other major ESD control

program standards used throughout the world.

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). This

standard covers the ESD control program requirements necessary for setting up a program to

handle ESD-sensitive devices (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 field induced. 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). Assessment of the ESD hazard

created by electrostatic charges on the necessary insulators in the work place is required

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 often 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

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.

Each company has different processes, and so will require a different blend of ESD

prevention measures for an optimum ESD control program. It is vital that these measures are

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.

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 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 level of

sensitivity, determined by test using simulated ESD events, may not necessarily relate to the

level of sensitivity in a real life situation. However, they are used to establish a baseline of

susceptibility data for comparison of devices with equivalent part numbers from different

manufacturers. Three different models are used for characterization of electronic components

- human body model (HBM), machine model (MM), and charged device model (CDM).
