GR 1421 CORE : ISSUE 2

This document defines minimum requirements for reusable packaging materials and containers used to protect circuit packs that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge during handling, shipment, storage and field use. The transient energy that may be dissipated by devices on circuit packs can be minimized by controlling surface properties and the volume resistivity of container materials and by controlling surface properties to minimize frictional or triboelectric charging packs during shipping. The document also defines the minimum generic properties (electrostatic, mechanical, environmental and chemical) that a reusable circuit-pack container shall have to be considered for use.
