“In order to be effective the ESD coordinator needs … access to measuring equipment for the purposes of performing compliance verification audits as well as testing new ESD products and materials for use in the ESD program … management must provide the ESD coordinator with the authority and funding necessary to ensure that the ESD control program is maintained and enforced.” (TR 61340-5-2:2008 User guide clause 4.1.1 Assignment of an ESD coordinator)

“Ionizers should be considered as a method for charge neutralization in cases where grounding cannot be achieved. These may include localized (bench) ionized air blowers, compressed air ionizers, spot ionizers, tape dispenser ionizers and total room ionizers.” “Air ionization can neutralize the static charge on insulated and isolated objects by producing separate charges in the molecules of the gases of the surrounding air. When a static charge is present on objects in the work environment, it will be neutralized by attracting opposite polarity charges from the ionized air. Note that ionization systems should not be used as a primary means of charge control on conductors or people. As with all ionizers, periodic maintenance will be needed to provide optimum performance.” (EN 61340-5-2 paragraph 5.2.9)
