ECIA EIA-541 PDF

This standard applies to several different categories of electrostatic protective packaging materials. These packaging materials may possess certain electrostatic properties such as to prevent triboelectric charging (antistatic), to dissipate a charge either by surface or volume conduction, or to act as a shield against electrostatic fields. These electrostatic properties are independent (not mutually exclusive). The form or shape in which these materials are used is unrestricted. Also, a fabricated product may possess more than one of the above electrostatic properties. The appropriate electrostatic properties a product should have, shall be determined by the user's requirements. Electromagnetic protective packaging is not addressed in this document.
