本指南提供了静电放电（ESD）测试注意事项，制造商应使用这些注意事项来评估在各种环境和客户使用中对产品的预期ESD影响。重点远远超出了用来简单表明产品符合当地、地区或国际标准或法规的范围。包括以下内容:充电外围设备测试、连接器引脚测试，以及ESD模拟器的使用细节。最后，提出了保证ESD放电人员安全的建议。 附件包括试验方法选择的信息，以及空气和接触放电的更多背景信息，供那些想要进一步了解这些方法差异的人使用。本指南不适用于设备的制造、服务或维护。执行这些活动的人员应接受培训，以避免ESD效应或设备损坏。总之，本指南的测试技术超出了常用的测试技术（如IEC 61000-4-2），因此它可以成为提高产品对ESD事件抗扰度的重要工具。

This guide provides electrostatic discharge (ESD) test considerations that a manufacturer should use in assessing the expected ESD effects on products in a wide range of environments and customer use. The focus is well beyond that used to simply show that a product complies with a local, regional, or international standard or regulation. The following are included: charged peripheral testing, connector pin testing, and details on the use of ESD simulators. Finally, suggestions for assuring the safety of those who apply the ESD discharge are provided. The annexes include information on test method selection and more background on air and contact discharge for those who want to further understand the differences in these methods. This guide is not applicable to manufacturing, service, or maintenance of equipment. Personnel who perform these activities should be trained to avoid ESD effects or damage to the equipment. In summary, this guide has test techniques beyond those that are commonly used (e.g., IEC 61000-4-2), and hence it can be a significant tool for increasing the immunity of products to ESD events.
