Technical Requirements and Guidance

“ESD protective packaging and package marking shall be in accordance with customer contracts, purchase orders, drawing or other documentation. When the contract, purchase order, drawing or other documentation does not define ESD protective packaging, the organization shall define ESD protective packaging requirements for ESDS [ESD sensitive] items within the plan. Packaging, when required, shall be defined for all material movement within protected areas, between protected areas, between job sites, field service operations and to the customer.”  [EN 61340-5-1 Edition 1.0 2007-08 clause 5.3.4 Packaging]

"Once outside of an electrostatic discharge protected area (hereinafter referred to as an EPA) it is often not possible to control the above items, therefore, ESD protective packaging may be required. ESD protection can be achieved by enclosing ESD sensitive products in static protective materials, although the type of material depends on the situation and destination. Inside an EPA, static dissipative materials may provide adequate protection. Outside an EPA, static discharge shielding materials are recommended.” [EN 61340-5-1 Edition 1.0 2007-08 Introduction]

Recommend closings bags with ESD susceptibility labels.
Per EOS/ESD S8 paragragh 3.1 ESD Susceptibility Symbol Application "The Symbol may be incorporated on a sticker used to close or seal ESD protective packaging to indicate that materials inside the package are ESD susceptible." For labels, Click Here

Desco Europe’s bags are recyclable

Mixed unsortable plastic scrap shall contain assorted plastics of multiple grades that are co-extruded, bonded or laminated together which are unsortable into individual grades. Desco Europe ESD Bags Are Generally Reusable

For best results, bag inventory should be continually replenished. It is recommended that standard packs of bags should be stored in its original packaging in a climate controlled environment where the temperature ranges from 45 degrees F to 70 degrees F and relative humidity is 50%. Bags should not be stored in ultraviolet sunlight, moisture, or heat because the aluminum shielding layer could oxidize if exposed to these conditions.

We have no reports of degradation of ESD control properties of bags sealed in original standard pack packaging. Desco Europe's Limited Warranty expressly warrants that for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase, Desco Europe products will be free of defects in material (parts) and workmanship (labor). Before using and after one year from purchase date, users shall determine the suitability of the Statshield ESD Bags for their intended use. Users assume all risk and liability whatsoever in connection therewith. Mishandling or improper storage may render an ESD Bag unusable to perform its function. ESD Bags that are ripped, torn, or scratched should be discarded.

From ANSI/ESD S20.20 section 6.2.4.2. Packaging Guidance: "The objective of ESD protective packaging is to prevent a direct electrostatic discharge to the ESDS item contained within and allow for dissipation of charge from the exterior surface. In addition, the packaging should minimize charging of the ESDS item in response to an external electrostatic field and triboelectrification. They may also lose static shielding properties by crumpling, puncturing and folding."

Some end users reuse a Statshield® Transparent Metal In ESD Shielding Bag up to six times and then discard.

Ideally, the user should test, auditing some percentage of the re-used ESD Bags using test procedures outlined in ANSI/ESD-STM11.11 Surface Resistance Standard, ANSI/ESD-STM11.12 Volume Resistance Measurements of Static Dissipative Planar Materials, and Shielding Materials ANIS/ESD STM11.31.

Desco Europe's only obligation shall be to replace such quantity of the product proved to be defective. See full Limited Warranty information.

"Packaging, when required, shall be defined for all material movement within protected areas, between protected areas, between job sites, field service operations and to the customer." See EN 61340-5-1 clause 5.3.4.

Statshield® bags are packaged 100 per package in an oversized shielding bag rather than a cardboard box. Therefore, our bags are not exposed to water vapors that will degrade the metallized shielding layer. Our bags have an additional layer of barrier protection because of our packaging.

Closeout items are subject to a 90-day warranty for materials and workmanship. No credit will be issued. Desco Europe to approve exchange for similar items.
