What is PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4 - Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena about?
PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4 is the fifth part of the multi-series standard that describes compliance verification testing for technical items that are included in ESD control programs, such as those specified in IEC 61340-5-1.
Test methods, in the main body of PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4, are based on those specified in IEC 61340-5-1 and other parts of IEC 61340, and are simplified where necessary for the purposes of compliance verification, to be performed by competent personnel.
Users can, by reference to PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4 in their compliance verification plan, adopt the necessary test methods described herein without change or addition. Alternatively, tests methods described in PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4 can be adapted to match the requirements of their own ESD control program, provided deviations in equipment or procedure are documented in their compliance verification plan.
Note-
Product qualification is excluded from the scope of PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4.
Who is PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4 - Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena for?
PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4 on electrostatics with the protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena is useful for:
- Electronics device manufacturers
- Electrical engineers
- Manufacturing plants
- Electronics retail shops
Why should you use PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4 - Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena?
Compliance verification is the process of monitoring and measuring all elements of an ESD control program. Regular compliance checks and tests are an essential part of this process, ensure that area precautions and equipment remain effective, and that an ESD control program is correctly implemented in compliance with an ESD control program plan.
PD IEC TR 61340‑5‑4 describes equipment and test methods that can be used for verification testing of ESD control items and systems and provides users with some guidance on how to carry out the tests and take appropriate action to ensure continuous compliance
