“The main purpose of a properly grounded work surface is to ensure that the items being handled and the work area are at the same electrical potential. Work surfaces provide the following functions:
- a work surface designed for control of static electricity provides an electrical path to ground or a common connection point in the case of an equipotential bonding situation. This allows non-insulating items placed on the work surface to discharge in a controlled manner;
- in some cases the work surface defines the boundary of an ESD work area in which ESDS can be handled.”
[IEC TR 61340-5-2 User Guide, Clause Work surfaces 5.3.3.4.1.1 Introductory remarks]
“The most important functional consideration for work surfaces is the resistance from the top of the surface to the groundable point. This establishes the resistance of the primary path to ground for items placed on the surface. IEC 61340-5-1 has set a resistance to ground range for work surfaces of less than 1,0 x 109 Ω.
Where charged device model (CDM) damage is a concern, IEC 61340-5-1 recommends a minimum point-to-point resistance of 1,0 x 104 Ω.”
