Materials Handling

As Stated In…

The BS EN 61340-5-1 Standard, all packaging should meet the characteristics described on page 5 of this catalogue.

The outer surface of all proximity packaging brought into an EPA should not be insulating and the electrical properties should be maintained during use, storage, transit, distribution or application to the point of re-use.

The principle functions of primary packaging outside the EPA are to limit tribo-electric charging and to provide shielding against electrostatic fields and discharges. When brought into an EPA, the packaging should be capable of providing charge drainage to EPA ground. This can be achieved by the use of separate items or a single package.

From Production…

From production right through to service and repair, the safe handling of ESDS is reliant upon many factors including the correct selection and use of ESD compatible materials handling equipment. The application usually determines the type of handling product required.
