MIL-HDBK-773A
5.3 Transporting before final unit pack. If the unit pack needs to be opened for any purpose, it should be opened at an ESD-controlled workstation (see figure 5). If the item needs to be transported to several areas before it is converted to a unit pack (for example, from receiving inspection, to repair and test, to inspection, then to final unit pack), use the following procedures:
a. Wrap, cushion, or pouch the item in accordance with paragraph 5.2.
b. Place the wrapped or cushioned item in an open bag conforming to
MIL-DTL-117, type I, class F, style 1.
c. Fold the open edge over and place a rubber band around the bag to hold the flap down. Common adhesive tape should not be used, since it can generate an electrostatic charge when removed from the roll, or the bag. Antistatic adhesive tape can be used to hold the flap down.
d. Transport the item by using a covered antistatic tote tray, or by placing the item in an antistatic type II, style D (folding convoluted), fast pack, PPP-B-1672. Protecting items in this manner ensures that the item is first placed in an antistatic environment and then transported.
5.4 Condition code F materiel. All reparable ESDS items should be rendered the level of packaging that would prevent further deterioration of the item. Returned condition code F materiel should be given the same applicable packaging referenced on the preceding pages beginning with paragraph 5.2, for example, condition code A, repaired, or newly procured ESDS items.
5.5 ESD protective packaging materials. Materials with known NSNs are included in appendix B. The list may not be all-inclusive because of the rapid technological changes which affect items available from supply sources.
5.6 The ESD protective worksite. An ESD worksite containing a workstation will require a minimum floor area of 150 square feet. It is recommended that the workstation occupy approximately 70 square feet and be centrally located within this site. The outer perimeter will be identified as a restricted area for trained personnel to handle ESDS items. This work area will be visibly marked, with overhead sign(s): "Caution - ESD Workstation." Figure 5 is a sketch of an ESD-controlled workstation, with items that are crucial in handling ESDS parts safely. The ionizer is a precautionary device that, within its effective area of control, will aid in removing electrostatic discharges from nonconductive surfaces such as the surface of an inadvertently placed Styrofoam cup. Heel straps and a static dissipative floor mat are also included with the essential worksite
