Statshield® Transparent Metal Out ESD
Shielding Bags
Charleswater ESD Bags meet EN 61340 5-1
requirements: 1. "Low charging packaging
exhibiting properties which minimise any charge
generation" [paragraph 3.18.1]. 2. "Electrostatic
discharge shielding barrier or enclosure that
limits the passage of current and attenuates the
energy resulting from an electrostatic discharge
such that the maximum energy from 1 000 V
human body model discharge is less than or
equal to 50 nJ" [paragraph 3.18.2.]. 3. Identified
with ESD packaging symbol, manufacturer, and
batch identification number [paragraph 4.1.2].
Features:
● Aluminum metal outer layer of laminated
film.
Metal out required by many end users. Meets
requirements of MIL-PRF-81705D, Type III
● 40% light transmission.
Allows for easy identification of bag contents.
● Integral antistatic, low tribocharging
properties.
Bag contents will not electrostatically charge
during movement.
● Integral static dissipative properties.
Not topically treated, not humidity dependent, won
● Manufactured on specially designed soft fold
converting machines.
Prevents scratches and creases maintaining the
integrity of Faraday Cage shielding protection.
● Large 9.5mm wide seals - high performance
interior sealing layer.
Greater sealing surface provides greater seal
strength compared to comparable products with
3.2mm wide seals; higher quality, more durable.
● Marked in accordance with IEC 61340-5-1,
paragraph 4.1.2.
ESD packaging symbol communicates that
contents are susceptible to damage from an ESD
event if not properly handled.
● Batch coded.
Quality control traceability.
● Polycarbonate compatible containing no
amines or N- octanoic acid.
Non-corrosive, will not contaminate parts.
● Testable to industry standards.
Meets or exceeds one or more of the following
standards: electrical and physical requirements of
IEC 61340-5-1, ANSI/ESD S20.20, Mil-PRF-
81705D, EIA 541, EIA-625, MIL-HDBK-263, MIL-
STD-1686, and EIA-583.
● Optional antistatic zipper.
Convenient recloseable seal; reusable.

A fundamental ESD control principle (see IEC 61340-5):
ESD susceptible items should be transported and stored
outside an Electrostatic protected Area enclosed in low
charging, static shielding protective packaging.
Metal Out Bag Sizes W x L (mm)
The user must determine the suitability of ESD
bags for particular applications and after one
year from purchase date.
All ESD Shielding Bags that are ripped, torn,
or scratched should be discarded. The Bag's
protection is lost if there is an electrical path from
the charge on the outside of the Bag to the inside
layer and ESDS parts within. Scratching may
compromise the Faraday Cage shielding
protection of shielding bags so they will not
perform their function of protecting stored or
transported ESD susceptible devices from
electrostatic charges and discharges.
From ANSI/ESD S20.20 paragraph 6.2.4.2.
Packaging Guidance: "The objective of ESD
protective packaging is to prevent a direct
electrostatic discharge to the ESDS item
contained within and allow for dissipation of
charge from the exterior surface. In addition, the
packaging should minimize charging of the ESDS
item in response to an external electrostatic field
and triboelectrification. They may also lose static
shielding properties by crumpling, puncturing and
folding."
Some end users reuse a Statshield®
Transparent Metal In ESD Shielding Bag up to
six times and then discard.
Ideally, the user should test, auditing some
percentage of the re-used ESD Bags using test
procedures outlined in ANSI EOS/ESD-DS11.11 -
1993 Surface Resistivity Standard, ESD-DS11.12
- 1996 Volume Resistance Measurements of
Static Dissipative Planar Materials, and Shielding
Materials EOS/ESD DS11.31 -1994.
Charleswater Europe ESD Bags Are Generally Reusable
Statshield®bags are packaged 100 per
package in an oversized shielding bag rather
than a cardboard box. Therefore, our bags are
not exposed to water vapors that will degrade
the metallized shielding layer. Our bags have an
additional layer of barrier protection because of
our packaging.
Ideally, ESD bags should be stored in a dry, well
ventilated room with a reasonably consistent
temperature of 68°F (20°C) and be protected
from exposure to direct sunlight. Ideally, ESD
bags should not be stored in ultraviolet sunlight,
moisture, or heat.
The user shall determine the suitability of the
product for their intended use. Charleswater
Europe’s only obligation shall be to replace such
quantity of the product proved to be defective.
See full Limited Warranty information at
www.charleswater.co.uk/warranty.htm.
Use Charleswater Europe ESD Bags to
meet IEC 61340 5-1 paragraph 6
Protective Packaging states, "The primary
functions of protective packaging outside
the ESD Protected Area are to:
• limit tribo-electric charging;
• provide shielding against electrostatic
fields and discharges.
• The packaging shall be capable of
providing charge drainage to EPA
ground when brought into an EPA.”
