Single Most Powerful Step to DemonstrateESD Control Programme Commitment
The Specialists in ESD ProtectionPurpose
“The ESD risk provided by everyday clothing cannot be easily assessed. The current general view of experts is that the main source of ESD risk may occur where ESDS [ESD sensitive items] can reach high induced voltage due to external fields from the clothing, and subsequently experience a field induced CDM [Charged Device Model] type discharge. So ESD control garments may be of particular benefit where larger ESDS having low CDM withstand voltage are handled, and operators habitually wear everyday clothing that could generate electrostatic high fields.” [CLC TR 61340-5-2 2008 User guide Garments clause 4.7.7.1 Introductory remarks]

Use ESD Garments to Ground Operator
Per EN 61340-5-1 Personnel grounding requirements Table 2 Note 1 “For situations where an ESD garment is used as part of the wrist strap grounding path, the total system resistance including the person, garment and grounding cord should be less than 3,5 x 107 ohms.”
Use Conductive Cuffs, save cost of a Wrist band

Per EN 61340-5-1 the resistance required limit for Groundable Static Control Garment is less than 1 x 109 ohms tested per ANSI/ESD STM2.1.
“After verifying that the garment has electrical conductivity through all panels, the garment should be electrically bonded to the grounding system of the wearer so as not to act as a floating conductor.”[CLC/TR 61340-5-2:2008 User guide Garment clause 4.7.7.2.4 Electrically groundable]
ESD Garments are a conductor and therefore should be grounded. This is best assured when they are designed to make intimate contact with the skin of a grounded operator.
