Conformity Magazine- May 2008 - (Page 17) ANSI/ESD S8.1-2001, Symbols—ESD Awareness This document establishes three types of ESD awareness symbols. The first one is to be used on a device or assembly to indicate that it is susceptible to electrostatic charge. The second is to be used on items and materials intended to provide electrostatic protection. The third symbol indicates the common point ground. ANSI/ESD STM 9.1-2006, Footwear—Resistive Characterization This document defines a test method for measuring the electrical resistance of shoes used for ESD control in the electronics environment. A companion document covering foot grounders is in the draft stage. ESD SP9.2-2003, Footwear—Foot Grounders Resistive Characterization (Not to Include Static Control Shoes) This standard practice was developed to provide test methods for evaluating foot grounders and foot grounder systems used to electrically bond or ground personnel as part of an ESD Control Program. Static control shoes are tested using ANSI/ESD STM9.1. ANSI/ESD SP10.1-2007, Automated Handling Equipment (AHE) This standard practice provides procedures for evaluating the electrostatic environment associated with automated handling equipment. ANSI/ESD STM 11.11-2006, Surface Resistance Measurement of Static Dissipative Planar Materials This document defines a direct current test method for measuring electrical resistance of static dissipative planar materials used in packaging of ESD sensitive devices and components. ANSI/ESD STM11.12-2007, Volume Resistance Measurement of Static Dissipative Planar Materials This standard test method provides test methods for measuring the volume resistance of static dissipative planar materials used in the packaging of ESD sensitive devices and components. ANSI/ESD STM11.13-2004, Two Point Resistance Measurement This standard test method measures the resistance between two points on a material’s surface without consideration of the material’s means of achieving conductivity. This test method was established for measuring resistance where the concentric ring electrodes included in ANSI/ESD STM11.11 cannot be used. ANSI/ESD STM11.31-2006, Evaluating the Performance of Electrostatic Discharge Shielding Materials—Bags This standard provides a method for testing and determining the shielding capabilities of electrostatic shielding bags. ANSI/ESD STM12.1-2006, Seating—Resistive Measurement This standard provides test methods for measuring the electrical resistance of seating used to control ESD. ESD STM13.1-2000, Electrical Soldering/Desoldering Hand Tools This standard test method provides electric soldering/desoldering hand tool test methods for measuring the electrical leakage and tip to ground reference point resistance and provides parameters for electrical overstress (EOS)-safe soldering operation. ANSI/ESD SP14.1-2004, System Level Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Simulator Verification This standard practice was developed to provide guidance to designers, manufacturers, and calibration facilities for verification and specification of the systems and fixtures used to measure simulator discharge currents. ANSI/ESD SP15.1-2005, In-Use Resistance Testing of Gloves and Finger Cots This standard practice provides test procedures for measuring the intrinsic electrical resistance of gloves and finger cots. ANSI/ESD S20.20-2007, Protection of Electrical and Electronic Parts, Assemblies and Equipment (Excluding Electrically Initiated Explosive Devices) This standard provides administrative, technical requirements and guidance for establishing, implementing and maintaining an ESD Control Program. ANSI/ESD STM97.1-2006, Floor Materials and Footwear— Resistance Measurement in Combination with a Person This standard test method provides for measuring the electrical resistance of floor materials, footwear and personnel together as a system. ANSI/ESD STM97.2-2006, Floor Materials and Footwear—Voltage Measurement in Combination with a Person This standard test method provides for measuring the electrostatic voltage on a person in combination with floor materials and footwear as a system. ANSI/ESD S541-2003, Packaging Materials for ESD Sensitive Items This standard defines the packaging properties needed to protect electrostatic discharge sensitive (ESDS) electronic items through all phases of production, transport and storage. The document discusses application requirements and references the testing methods for evaluating packaging and packaging materials for those properties.
