For those who work in the electronic repairs field, they surely know that ESDs are a big factor in damaging sensitive products.
To work in complete safety, comply to IEC61340-5-1 and to avoid this inconvenience inside the smartphone and PC repair centre Multiservice 5D has created certified EPAs that avoid the stagnation and creation of electrostatic charges on the surfaces and on its user.
For a repair centre, working in electrically protected enviroments is an important prerogative that defines quality in its own work enviroment.
What are the processes / work tasks that produce ESDs in an area?
Like in any industrial dept. , even inside electronic laboratories, there’s movement because of component handling (ESDs). The most dangerous activities inside a repair centre that can cause ESDs are:
- Rubbing of synthetic clothes
- Unwrapping PVC duct tape
- Moving of product and plastic containers
- Walking on synthetic flooring
This means that any activity where a transfer of electrons happens due to two objects having different potentials can cause ESDs.
How do I limit electrostatic charges inside the work enviroment?
The most common method chosen by electronic’s technicians is working in certified EPAs. An EPA is a designated area of whichever size that os electrostatically protected.
MultiService 5D decided to furnish its technical repair centre with certified ESD-SAFE workbenches and EPAs.
What are the components that constitute an EPA?
By grouping all present elements inside a work area, we can define macro-categories that define fundamental product families inside an EPA.
- Work surfaces with defined work resistances
- Dissipative flooring
- ESD-SAFE chairs
- ESD-SAFE clothing
- Signage
