This standard specifies the general requirements for the protection of electrostatic discharge sensitive devices from electrostatic discharges and fields. It applies only to electronic devices and assemblies. For areas with exposed conductors and potentials greater than 1,25 kV a.c. or 2,5 kV d.c., additional requirements specified in CECC 00 015: Part 4 shall apply (Part 4 is in course of preparation).
