Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Based on the models used, the ESDS parts can be classified in accordance
with the following table (per MIL-STD-1686C, with HBM subgroups per ESD
STM5.1-2001). It should be noted that the HBM, MM and CDM voltage levels do
not correlate with each other.

Antistatic footwear.
Where a wrist-strap is impractical, e.g. the job
requires the worker to walk from one location
to another, it is recommended that antistatic
footwear such as antistatic shoes or heelstraps are worn. The picture on the right
shows an example of an antistatic heel-strap
with the grounding cord running into the socks
to make contact with the skin. It is also
necessary to use an antistatic floor
(e.g. conductive floor tiles) to work together
with the antistatic footwear.
