Report
on the Risk of Static Ignition During Vehicle Refuelling:
A Study of the Available Relevant Research
Institute of Petroleum, Society of Motor Manufacturers and
Traders Ltd (SMMT) and UK Petroleum Industry Association (UKPIA).
|
IP,
SMMT and UKPIA commissioned this report after a number of
fires at petrol filling stations outside of the UK were attributed
to ignition of vapour by electrostatic discharges..
The
report identifies key strategies for ensuring that vehicles
and station facilities are constructed in such a way as to
minimise the risk. This report will be of interest to all
those involved in the design of vehicles, design and operation
of petrol filling station facilities, and concerned with the
safety of personnel on forecourts.

Evaluation
of Shielding Packaging for Prevention of Electrostatic Damage
to Sensitive Electronic Components
J
M Smallwood et al.
|
Shielding
bags are widely used in the electronics manufacturing industry
to protect sensitive electronic components and assemblies
from ESD. The performance of these bags is uncertain. Test
methods have until recently been unreliable, and pass/fail
criteria have been poorly defined.
This
report provides a review and appraisal of the standards in
use for specification and testing of the performance of a
range of currently available shielding bags, and an evaluation
of a recent standard test method for demonstrating shielding
bag performance.
