This part of IEC 61340 describes compliance verification testing for technical items that are included in ESD control programs, such as those specified in IEC 61340-5-1.

Test methods, in the main body of this document, are based on those specified in IEC 61340-5-1 and other parts of IEC 61340, and are simplified where necessary for the purposes of compliance verification, to be performed by competent personnel.

Additional compliance verification tests and procedures within the scope of this document are described in Annexes B to G.

Users can, by reference to this document in their compliance verification plan, adopt the necessary test methods described herein without change or addition. Alternatively, tests methods described in this document can be adapted to match the requirements of their own ESD control program, provided deviations in equipment or procedure are documented in their compliance verification plan.Cross References:IEC 61340-4-6IEC 61340-4-7IEC 61340-2-3IEC 61340-5-1 IEC 61340-4-1ESD TR-01-01ANSI/ESD STM11.11ESD ADV 53.1 IEC 61340-4-5ANSI/ESD S6.1IEC 61340-4-9IEC 62631-3-2ANSI/ESD S13.1IEC 61340-2-1IEC 61340-4-3ANSI/ESD SP15.1-2011 IEC TR 61340-5-2:2018IEC 61340-5-3:2015IEC TR 61340-1:2012IEC TR 61340-2-2:2000IEC TS 61340-4-2:2013
