Electrostatics - Part 5-6 : Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena - Process assessment techniques

IEC PAS 61340-5-6:2022 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.

Electrostatics - Part 2-1: Measurement methods - Ability of materials and products to dissipate static electric charge

IEC 61340-2-1:2015 describes test methods for measuring the rate of dissipation of static charge of insulating and static dissipative materials and products. It includes a generic description of test methods and detailed test procedures for specific applications. The two test methods for measuring charge decay time, one using corona charging and one using a charged metal plate are different and may not give equivalent results. Nevertheless, each method has a range of applications for which it is best suited. The corona charging method is suitable for evaluating the ability of materials, e.g. textiles, packaging, etc., to dissipate charge from their own surfaces. The charged metal plate method is suitable for evaluating the ability of materials and objects such as gloves, finger cots, hand tools, etc. to dissipate charge from conductive objects placed on or in contact with them. The charged plate method may not be suitable for evaluating the ability of materials to dissipate charge from their own surfaces. In addition to its general application, this horizontal standard is also intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) the first edition supported requirements in IEC TR 61340-5-1, but with the revision of IEC TR 61340-5-1 into an International Standard, this support is no longer required; references to IEC 61340-5-1 have been removed;
b) the introduction gives additional information on when charge decay time measurements are appropriate, and the applications for which each of the two test methods are best suited;
c) procedures for performance verification of measuring instruments for the corona charging method have been added. It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.

IEC TS 61340-5-4:2021(Main)
Electrostatics - Part 5-4: Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena - Compliance verification

IEC TS 61340-5-4:2021(E) describes compliance verification testing for technical items that are included in ESD control programs, such as those specified in IEC 61340-5-1.
Test methods are based on those specified in IEC 61340-5-1 and other parts of the IEC 61340 series, and are simplified where necessary for the purposes of compliance verification, to be performed by competent personnel.
Users can, by reference to this document in their compliance verification plan, adopt the necessary test methods described herein without change or addition. Alternatively, test methods described in this document can be adapted to match the requirements of their own ESD control program, provided deviations in equipment or procedure are documented in their compliance verification plan.
Compliance verification test frequency is not specified in this document. Guidance on how users can consider compliance verification test frequency is given in informative Annex A.
Product qualification is excluded from the scope of this document.
This first edition cancels and replaces IEC TR 61340-5-4 published in 2019. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC TR 61340­5-4:
test methods in the main body of the document have been made normative, and consequently normative references have been added;
the term "ESD ground" has been added and defined;
description of equipment for measuring low resistance has been added;
user specified electrodes, including surface resistance bar electrodes, are permitted to be used for resistance measurements;
an informative annex on verification of compliance verification test equipment has been added;
compliance verification of person-footwear-flooring systems by measuring body voltage has been moved to an informative annex.

Electrostatics - Part 5-5: Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena - Packaging systems used in electronic manufacturing

IEC TR 61340-5-5:2018(E) discusses packaging material requirements for electrostatic discharge sensitive items (ESDS) as well as non–ESDS which can apply to packaging materials such as embossed carrier tape, trays, tubes (stick magazines), rails and others used in back end line processing and parts handling where test methods described in other standards are, for the most part, inadequate. Issues related to electrostatic charge generation, electrostatic attraction and repulsion are included. The recommendations and discussions within this document can also be applicable to other types of packaging that cannot be evaluated by other means.
This document discusses the issues related to
1) technical considerations for packaging material selection and packaging system design,
2) packaging material specifications for electrostatic control,
3) existing test methods and their limitations for packaging materials,
4) suggestions for the evaluation of small dimension packaging materials, and
5) industry common practices.
