7 Technical requirements for ESD protective packaging
7.1 Packaging and material properties
Table 1 and Table 2 provide test methods for determining material classifications for finished
packaging and materials. When possible, testing shall be performed on the finished packaging.
When testing cannot be performed on a finished packaging, the material classification shall be
defined by the bulk material used for the production of the final packaging.
Other probes (electrodes) may be used providing the results correlate with the specified probes
(electrodes). In case of dispute, the probe (electrode) assemblies specified in IEC 61340-2-3
shall be used.
