and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants
•
No precautions against electrostatic discharge are necessary for portable
equipment that has an enclosure made of plastic, metal or a combination of the
two, except where a significant static-generating mechanism has been identified.
Activities such as placing the item on a belt, operating a keypad or cleaning with a
damp cloth, do not present a significant electrostatic risk. However, where a
static-generating mechanism is identified, such as repeated brushing against
clothing, then suitable precautions shall be taken, e.g., the use of anti-static
footwear.
Note:
Users are recommended to refer to ISA -RP12.13, Part II-1987 for general
