Establishes a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrostatic discharges. Also defines ranges of test levels that relate to different environmental and installation conditions and establishes test procedures. Does not specify the tests to be applied to particular apparatus or systems.
