damage from static charges. You must handle these devices
carefully and according to the procedures described in the
manufacturers’ data books.
We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputable
manufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Figure 1.1 shows a typical antistatic bench set-up.
You can obtain further information on antistatic precautions and the dangers
of electrostatic discharge (ESD) from standards such as ANSI/ESD
S20.20-1999 or BS EN 100015-4 1994.
