GENERAL HANDLING ROCEDURES ND EQUIREMENTS FOR SDS DEVICES ND SSEMBLIES)
3–7
POST OFFICE BOX 1443
HOUSTON, TEXAS 77251–1443
preparation for working at static-free workstation (continued)
Any improperly prepared person, while at or near the work station, must not touch or come in close proximity
with any static-sensitive item. It is the responsibility of the operator and the area supervisor to ensure that the
static-free work area is clear of unnecessary static hazards, including such personal items as plastic-coated
cups or wrappers, plastic cosmetic bottles or boxes, combs, tissue boxes, cigarette packages, and vinyl or
plastic purses. All work-related items, including information sheets, fluid containers, tools, and part carriers must
be approved for use at the static-free workstation.
general handling procedures and requirements (for ESDS devices and assemblies)
All static-sensitive items must be received in an antistatic/conductive container and must not be removed
from the container except at the static-free workstation. All protective folders or envelopes holding
documentation (lot travelers, etc.) must be made of nonstatic-generating material.
Each packing (outermost) container and package (internal or intermediate) must have a bright yellow
warning label attached, stating the following information or equivalent:
CAUTION
ELECTROSTATIC
SENSITIVE
DEVICES
DO NOT OPEN OR HANDLE
EXCEPT AT A
STATIC-FREE WORKSTATION
The warning label must be legible and easily readable to normal vision at a distance of three feet.
Static-sensitive items are to remain in their protective containers except when actually in use at the
static-free station.
Before removing an item from its protective container, the operator must place the container on the
conductive grounded bench top, make sure the wrist strap fits snugly around the wrist and is properly
plugged into the ground receptacle, and then touch their hands to the conductive bench top.
All operations on the items must be performed with the items in contact with the grounded bench top as
much as possible. Conductive magazine are not allowed to touch the hard-grounded test gear on bench
top.
Ordinary plastic solder-suckers and other plastic assembly aids must not be used.
In cases where it is impossible or impractical to ground the operator with a wrist strap, a conductive shoe
strap can be used along with conductive tile/mats.
When the operator moves from any other place to the static-free workstation, the start-up procedure must
be the same as in Preparation for Working at Static-Free Workstation.
The ionizer must be in operation prior to presenting any static-sensitive items to the static-free workstation,
and must be in operation during the entire time period when the items are at the workstation.
“Plastic snow” polystyrene foam, “peanuts,” or other high-dielectric materials must never come in contact
with, or be used around, electrostatic-sensitive items, unless they have been treated with an antistat (as
evidenced by pink color and generation of less than
±
100 volts).
Static-sensitive items must not be transported or stored in trays, tote boxes, vials, or similar containers
made of untreated plastic material unless items are protectively packaged in conductive material.
