ESD information
Electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are single components, integrated circuits or devices
that can be damaged by electrostatic fields or electrostatic discharges.
Regulations for handling ESD components:
When handling components, make sure that personnel, workplaces, and packaging are
well grounded.
Personnel may only come into contact with electronic components, if
 They are grounded with an ESD wrist band, or
 They are in ESD areas with conductive flooring, ESD shoes or ESD grounding straps.
Electronic boards should only be touched if absolutely necessary. They must only be
handled on the front panel or, in the case of printed circuit boards, at the edge.
Electronic boards must not come into contact with plastics or items of clothing containing
synthetic fibers.
Boards must only be placed on conductive surfaces (work surfaces with ESD surface,
conductive ESD foam, ESD packing bag, ESD transport container).
Electronic boards may not be placed near display units, monitors, or televisions (minimum
distance from the screen > 10 cm).
Measurements must only be taken on boards when the measuring instrument is grounded
(via protective conductors, for example) or the measuring probe is briefly discharged before
measurements are taken with an isolated measuring device (for example, touching a bare
metal housing).
Electrical, magnetic and electromagnetic fields (EMF) that occur during operation can pose
a danger to persons who are present in the direct vicinity of the product - especially
persons with pacemakers, implants, or similar devices.
The relevant directives and standards must be observed by the machine/plant operators
and people present in the vicinity of the product. These are, for example, EMF Directive
2004/40/EEC and standards EN 12198-1 to -3 in the European Economic Area (EEA) and,
in Germany, the accident prevention regulation BGV 11 and the associated rule BGR 11
"Electromagnetic fields" from the German Employer's Liability Insurance Association.
These state that a hazard analysis must drawn up for every workplace, from which
measures for reducing dangers and their impact on persons are derived and applied, and
exposure and danger zones are defined and observed.
The relevant safety notes in each chapter must be observed.
