KS C 9610-4-2 Testing – Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
The scope of KS C 9610-4-2 testing, previously known as KN 61000-4-2, relates to the electrostatic discharge immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subjected to static electricity discharges, from operators directly, and from personnel to adjacent objects. The KN 61000-4-2 test standard additionally defines ranges of test levels that relate to different environmental and installation conditions and establishes test procedures.
The object of a KS C 9610-4-2/KN 61000-4-2 test program is to establish a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrostatic discharges. In addition, KS C 9610-4-2 testing includes electrostatic discharge testing simulation which may occur from personnel to objects near vital equipment.
KS C 9610-4-2 testing defines:
- typical waveform of the electrostatic discharge current
- range of test levels
- test equipment
- test setup
- test procedure
- calibration procedure
- measurement uncertainty
KS C 9610-4-2 relates to equipment, systems, subsystems, and peripherals that may be involved in static electricity discharges owing to environmental and installation conditions, such as low relative humidity, use of low-conductivity (artificial-fiber) carpets, vinyl garments, etc., which may exist in all locations classified in standards relevant to electrical and electronic equipment.
