In some environments, specifically where electronics are assembled, you will need dedicated areas, named Electrostatic Protected Areas or EPA, where all equipment, accessories and clothes must be CERTIFIED for ESD-PROTECTION, which is certified free of ESD.

When working with Electronics, the smallest electrostatic discharge will damage irremediably the delicate circuits. The result will be failure of components, which might happen even after weeks or months, when your electronic device is already in use.

ESD is an invisible enemy, hard to detect but globally responsible for Millions of dollars of electronic failures every year. Inside a EPA, everything must be certified, otherwise in case of problems, you will not be protected. Are you sure the spring balancers in your assembly area are EPA certified? Can you effort this certain?
