Vermason - ESD Labels and Tape Search Search ESD labels and tape EN 61340-5 requires all electrostatic discharge sensitive devices and assemblies to be labelled with the 'susceptibility' symbol shown below. It stipulates that ESD protective packaging be labelled with the 'protection' symbol. We offer self-adhesive paper labels with either symbol in several sizes. The best known ESD cautionary symbol consists of a yellow hand in the act of reaching, deleted by a bar, all within a black triangle. It is intended to identify devices and assemblies that are susceptible to ESD. It is now correctly used as follows: ● ● ● on individual components and related documents to state: "this device is static sensitive: do not touch without appropriate precautions" on assemblies and related documents to state "includes static sensitive components: take appropriate precautions" as part of a sign identifying an area where sensitive devices are handled, to warn all who approach it that precautions are required. Susceptibility Protection The 'protection' symbol should appear on ESD protective products such as shielding bags and boxes as well as on portable items such as field service mats, trolleys and garments. In place of the asterisk, a letter indicating the primary function of the item may appear: See table.
