This standard has been developed to establish test methods for evaluating the electrical and mechanical attributes of wrist straps used in an electrostatic control program. Wrist straps are intended to connect the user to electrical ground, thus preventing electrostatic charge on a user’s body from attaining a level that may damage ESD susceptible devices or assemblies. Test methods and performance limits for Evaluation, Acceptance, and Functional testing are provided. Application and construction guidance is included in the Appendices. This document is reformatted from EOS/ESD S1-1987 using improved test methods.
