38 INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION
39 ____________
41 ELECTROSTATICS –
43 Part 5-1: Protection of electronic devices from
44 electrostatic phenomena – General requirements
46 FOREWORD
47 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
48 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
49 international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
50 this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
51 Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
52 Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
53 in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non -
54 governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC col laborates closely
55 with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
56 agreement between the two organizations.
57 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as pos sible, an international
58 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
59 interested IEC National Committees.
60 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepte d by IEC National
61 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
62 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
63 misinterpretation by any end user.
64 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
65 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
66 between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
67 the latter.
68 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
69 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
70 services carried out by independent certification bodies.
71 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
72 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
73 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
74 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including l egal fees) and
75 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
76 Publications.
77 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
78 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
79 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
80 patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
81 International Standard IEC 61340-5-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 101:
82 Electrostatics.
83 This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2016. This edition
84 constitutes a technical revision.
85 This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
86 edition:
87 a) There were definitions added to the document
88 b) Updates to product qualification requirements
89 c) Personal grounding now included reference to groundable static control garment systems
90 d) Table 2 was replaced
91 e) Insulator section was updated to define what an insulator is
92 f) Isolated conductors were updated to include a definition on what an isolated conductor is

93 g) Table 3 was updated, technical items added, included reference to IEC 61340-5-4 for
94 compliance verification testing
95 h) Table 4 was added as a summary of the requirements in IEC 61340-5-3 and to include
96 requirements for compliance verification of packaging
97 i) Annex A was replaced, the former Annex is no longer required. Annex A are examples of
98 tailoring
99 The text of this standard is based on the following document:
IEC 61340-5-1 Ed 2
101 This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
102 A list of all parts in the IEC 61340 series, published under the general title Electrostatics, can
103 be found on the IEC website.
104 The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
105 the stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
106 related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
107 • reconfirmed,
108 • withdrawn,
109 • replaced by a revised edition, or
110 • amended.
111 The contents of the corrigendum of May 2017 have been included in this copy.

114 INTRODUCTION
115 This part of IEC 61340 covers the requirements necessary to design, establish, implement
116 and maintain an electrostatic discharge (ESD) control program for activities that: manufacture,
117 process, assemble, install, package, label, service, test, inspect, transport or otherwise
118 handle electrical or electronic parts, assemblies and equipment susceptible to damage by
119 electrostatic discharges greater than or equal to 100 V human body model (HBM), 200 V
120 charged device model (CDM) and 35 V on isolated conductors. Isolated conductors were
121 historically represented by machine model (MM). The 35 V limit is related to the level
122 achievable using ionizers specified in this standard. The MM test is no longer required for
123 qualification of devices, only the HBM and CDM tests are. The requirements relating to MM
124 are retained in this standard for process control of isolated conductors only.
125 Any contact and physical separation of materials or flow of solids, liquids, or particle-laden
126 gases can generate electrostatic charges. Common sources of ESD include charged:
127 personnel, conductors, common polymeric materials, and processing equipment. ESD
128 damage can occur when:
129 • a charged person or object comes into contact with an ESD sensitive device (ESDS);
130 • an ESDS comes into direct contact with a highly conductive surface while exposed to an
131 electrostatic field;
132 • a charged ESDS comes into contact with another conductive surface which is at a different
133 electrical potential. This surface can be grounded or ungrounded.
134 Examples of ESDS are microcircuits, discrete semiconductors, thick and thin film resistors,
135 hybrid devices, printed circuit boards and piezoelectric crystals. It is possible to determine
136 device and item susceptibility by exposing the device to simulated ESD events. The E
