ESD clothing and gloves provide the ESD protection you need
Comfort is crucial when it comes to clothing, both at home and at work. Your work clothing needs to provide outstanding freedom of movement and be pleasant to wear at all times, not to mention needing to look good as well. But do you really need standards-compliant ESD clothing to provide optimum protection against electrostatic discharge? The answer is simple: yes, you do.
If you work with, mount or check the quality of electronic assemblies, then your workstation always poses the risk that uncontrolled electrostatic discharge (ESD) could damage electronic parts or components.
Robust ESD protection protects your brand
This damage isn’t always visible, and it also doesn’t always occur straight away. It’s more often the case that the device stops working properly later down the line, when the component has long since been integrated into a measuring instrument or an autocockpit or installed as part of high-quality control technology in a PC or games console. If the device ends up failing entirely, no company would be able to avoid the consequences. In the worst-case scenario it would damage the company’s reputation and lead to claims from customers. The best way to avoid such situations is to comply with DIN EN 61340-5-1 and not only set up a comprehensive Electrostatic Protected Area (EPA), but also wear suitable ESD shoes and ESD clothing. As an established partner for personal protective equipment, we will gladly be your first port of call for any questions you might have and all products relating to fully ergonomic ESD workstations.
