Hello Expert,
I have the EPA and non-ESD control required area are mixed in the factory.
May I would to understand about the ESD compliance posters, please see the details below.
These posters are pasted before entering EPA.
(A) This poster is using the “ESD Sensitive” symbol and the text “ESD PROTECTED AREA”.
(B) This poster is using the “ESD Protective” symbol and the text “ESD PROTECTED AREA”.
Could you please advise which poster is correct ESD compliance posters?
Thank you,
Best regards.
Natthawee,
ANSI/ESD S8.1 designates the first symbol with the line through the hand as the “ESD Susceptibility Symbol”. It is to be used on items that are ESD sensitive. It is not to be used on materials for use in the EPA like garments, seating, worksurfaces, etc. It is usually used on a sticker to close packaging that includes items that are ESD sensitive.
The second symbol with the semi-circle around it is called the “ESD Protective Symbol”. It is used to identify items designed to provide ESD protection. I believe this is the symbol you would want to use in your EPA sign. Thanks
Hello Andy,
