ESD Workwear Requirements for Electronics Areas

How to prepare an ESD workwear requirement for electronics assembly, inspection and controlled handling.

ESD workwear supports a wider electrostatic-discharge control programme. The protected-area procedure should define garment use, personnel grounding, footwear, worksurface controls and verification.

For procurement, confirm the item type, size range, wearer count, resistance or test requirement and any wash or replacement procedure specified by the electronics operation.

Do not treat ESD workwear as electrical-shock protection. Confirm the exact product data and intended use before ordering.
