In areas with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESDS), waste garbage cans and waste baskets made of electrically dissipative material are a necessary part of a standard-compliant ESD control program.
Containers made of insulating plastics can store electrostatic charges and lead to uncontrolled electrostatic discharges (ESD) on contact or approach.
ESD-compliant waste containers enable a defined discharge of charges to ground potential and support compliance with specifications in accordance with IEC 61340-5-1. They therefore help to reduce electrostatic hazards in production and development areas of electronics manufacturing.
