This document applies to packaging used to store@ transport@ and protect ESDS electronic items during all phases of production and distribution. This document does not address protection from EMI/RFI/EMP or protection of volatile materials. ESD protective packaging is a requirement of the overall ESD control program ANSI/ESD S20.20. PURPOSE This standard defines the packaging properties needed to protect electrostatic discharge susceptible (ESDS) electronic items through all phases of production@ transport and storage. Application requirements are defined that support the intent and purpose of the packaging requirements stated in ANSI/ESD S20.20. Test methods are referenced to evaluate packaging and packaging materials for these product and material properties. Performance limits are provided.
