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

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).
