IEC 61340-3-1:2006 Electrostatics - Part 3-1: Methods for simulation of electrostatic effects - Human body model (HBM) electrostatic discharge test waveforms
This part of IEC 61340 describes the discharge current waveforms used to simulate human
body model (HBM) electrostatic discharges (ESD) and the basic requirements for equipment
used to develop and verify these waveforms.
This standard covers HBM ESD waveforms for use in general test methods and for application
to materials or objects, electronic components and other items for ESD withstand-test or
performance-evaluation purposes. The specific application of these HBM ESD waveforms to
non-powered semiconductor devices is covered in IEC 60749-26.
The waveforms defined in this standard are not intended for use in the testing of powered
electronic systems for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), which is covered in IEC 61000-4-2.
