1. The Specialists in ESD Protection ESD Static Control Garments Vermason.co.uk Single Most Powerful Step to Demonstrate ESD Control Programme Commitment

2. The Specialists in ESD Protection Purpose “The ESD risk provided by everyday clothing cannot be easily assessed. The current general view of experts is that the main source of ESD risk may occur where ESDS [ESD sensitive items] can reach high induced voltage due to external fields from the clothing, and subsequently experience a field induced CDM [Charged Device Model] type discharge. So ESD control garments may be of particular benefit where larger ESDS having low CDM withstand voltage are handled, and operators habitually wear everyday clothing that could generate electrostatic high fields.” [CLC TR 61340-5-2 2008 User guide Garments clause 4.7.7.1 Introductory remarks] Vermason.co.uk

This is best assured when they are designed to make intimate contact with the skin of a grounded operator. Vermason.co.uk EN 61340-5-1
