This leaflet describes the different classes of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective packaging defined by EN 100015‑1, including antistatic, conductive, dissipative and insulative types. It explains the required surface resistance ranges for each class and the protection levels they provide for sensitive devices.
The document also lists physical characteristics of the packaging materials such as film thickness, bag dimensions, material composition, and tolerance limits. Specific product examples include antistatic pink tubing, conductive black tubing, metallised shielding bags and various bubble rolls.
| Dissipative packaging surface resistance | >1×10⁰ Ω and < 1×10¹ Ω |
|---|---|
| Insulative packaging surface resistance | > 1×10¹ Ω |
| Film thickness conversion | 1 µm = 0.001 mm |
| Antistatic pink tubing thickness | 0.075 mm |
| Bag thickness variation tolerance | ±6 % |
The antistatic pink tubing is 0.075 mm thick.
Thickness may vary up to ±6 %, with a typical average between 73 µm and 77 µm.
