Insulative materials prevent or limit the flow of electrons across their surface or through their volume. Insulative materials have a high electrical resistance and are difficult to ground, thus are not ESD materials. Static charges remain in place on these materials for a very long time.
Symbol for an ESD protection device – EPA Alternate warning symbol Symbol of an ESD grounding point for all components. An electrostatic-sensitive device (often abbreviated ESD) is any component (primarily electrical) which can be damaged by common static charges which build up on people, tools, and other non-conductors or semiconductors. [1]
These materials are called static dissipative and have resistivity values below 10 12 ohm-meters. Materials in automated manufacturing which will touch on conductive areas of ESD sensitive electronic should be made of dissipative material, and the dissipative material must be grounded. These special materials are able to conduct electricity ...
A network card inside an antistatic bag. A pink static dissipative bag, and a silver conductive bag. Note the two recurring ESD symbols. An antistatic bag is a bag used for storing electronic components, which are prone to damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
An antistatic device is any device that reduces, dampens, or otherwise inhibits electrostatic discharge, or ESD, which is the buildup or discharge of static electricity. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] ESD can damage electrical components such as computer hard drives, and even ignite flammable liquids and gases.
ESD (gene), a human gene/enzyme; Electrostatic discharge, a sudden flow of electricity between two electrically charged objects; Electrostatic-sensitive device, any component which can be damaged by common static charges; Energy spectral density, a part of a function in statistical signal processing

IEC 61000-4-2 is the International Electrotechnical Commission's immunity standard on electrostatic discharge (ESD). The publication is one of the basic EMC standards of the IEC 61000–4 series. The European equivalent of the standard is called EN 61000-4-2. The current version of the IEC standard is the second edition dated 2008-12-09. [1]
