To create and maintain an EPA one needs to pay special attention to furniture and personnel, which need to be grounded. Protection can involve earthing equipment and painting the frame of the workstation with semi-conductive paint. We have extensive experience in developing, manufacturing and supplying ESD furnishings. All our workstations and related products are available with an electrically semi-conductive coat of paint and we supply furnishings, seats and earthing components for ESD-protected workstations. We also build complete production systems equipped with ESD-protection. Our ESD-protected products meet the requirements specified in the IEC 61340-5-1 standard. ESD protection guarantees a safe working environment STATIC ELECTRICITY The abbreviation ESD stands for Electrostatic Discharge, a process that occurs between two objects of differing electric potential. Normally, electric charges are discharged slowly from objects’ surfaces. If the difference in electric potential becomes too great, the electrical current accelerates resulting in a sudden current surge. An ESD protected area is called an EPA. In an EPA, ESD protection must be observed in all materials, employees’ clothing and air humidity. Workstations and employees in an EPA must also be earthed with protective resistance (1 Mohm) to an ESD earth. Work smarter, not harder
