Automotive and Electronics.
Mechanical assembly, electronics manufacturing and electric vehicle maintenance should not be lumped under the same consideration. Static control that protects the product and insulation that protects the worker from electric shock serve different purposes.
What's important?
Sensitive electronics area
In ESD-controlled areas, follow the facility's personnel grounding procedure. Assess footwear and flooring together and carry out the checks specified by the facility.
Assembly and part movement
Examine part weight, handling method, and presence of chips. Try the fit, closure system and toe area during squatting and continuous walking.
Electric vehicle works
Carry out a separate risk assessment for work on high-voltage components. Do not infer electrical insulation from ESD properties or non-metallic construction.
The final selection is made with the risk assessment of the workplace and the current technical documentation of the model. Industry guides are not a declaration of product conformity.
