Recommended Practice
ESD Association standards and publications are designed to serve the public
interest by eliminating misunderstandings between manufacturers and
Caution purchasers, facilitating the interchangeability and improvement of products and
Notice assisting the purchaser in selecting and obtaining the proper product for his
particular needs. The existence of such standards and publications shall not in
any respect preclude any member or non-member of the Association from
manufacturing or selling products not conforming to such standards and
publications. Nor shall the fact that a standard or publication is published by the
Association preclude its voluntary use by non-members of the Association
whether the document is to be used either domestically or internationally.
Recommended standards and publications are adopted by the ESD Association
in accordance with the ANSI Patent policy.

Foreword
The grounding of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protective equipment is used to reduce the
chance of damage to susceptible parts and assemblies resulting from ESD. The need throughout
the electronics industry for a well defined standard for the connection of ESD protective
equipment to ground is recognized.
The protection of ESD susceptible items is accomplished by providing a path to bring static
dissipative materials, conductive materials, and personnel to the same electrical potential. This
standard provides guidance and procedures that establish an effective path to ground. The
standard has been limited to ground for ESD caused electrical overstress (EOS).
There is one annex in this standard. Annex A is informative and not considered part of this
standard.
This standard was orginally approved on September 24, 1991 and was designated EOS/ESD-
S6.1-1991 and this document is a reaffirmed version of the original. This standard was
processed and approved for reaffirmatio by the ESD Association Standards Committee
(STDCOM). At the time of the approval of the original standard the S6.0 Grounding
Subcommittee had the following members:
Bob Parr - Chairman Harry Jolliff, Secretary
Motorola GEG TRW
