Humidity Outside Specified Limits

Expert Panel Responses

For ESD requirements the humidity level shell be above 20%, better 40 %. For ESD product qualification is 12 % required. Compare the standards IEC 61340-5-1 and IEC 61340-5-2 from 2008. An upper level is not required, this level depend from other process steps.
