Antistatic Office Supplies

Importance of using antistatic office equipment

Many companies overlook how standard office stationery items are sources of potential electrostatic damage. These standard office items are made from high static generating materials (insulative) which can damage static-sensitive equipment. At Bondline, we offer a range of ESD stationery products which have been specifically developed for use in ESD Protected Areas; reducing the risk of static damage to components and devices. These office items are sourced from high-quality manufacturers and conform to the IEC-61340-1-5 International Standard.

Identifying an ESD Protected Area (EPA)

An EPA needs to be identified as such. You can use products such as floor marking tape and/or signs which are designed to attract attention and deliver a clear message to personnel and visitors, i.e. “You are entering an ESD Protected Area” or “You are leaving an ESD Protected Area”. This ensures operators and visitors are alerted when entering (or leaving) an ESD Protected Area which require special precautions (grounding via wrist straps and/or foot grounders etc.). It also indicates that they are entering (or exiting) areas where exposed ESDS items can be handled safely. Remember to be consistent throughout your workplace floor, i.e. use the same signs. This will avoid confusion for your operators.
