ABSTRACT: This document states Telcordia Technologies view of minimum requirements for reusable packaging materials and containers used to protect circuit packs that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge during shipment, storage, handling and between field uses. The document defines the minimum generic properties (electrostatic, mechanical, environmental, and chemical) that a reusable circuit-pack container shall have to be considered for use.

The transient energy that may be dissipated by devices on circuit packs can be minimized by controlling surface properties and the volume resistivity of container materials and by controlling surface properties to minimize frictional or triboelectric charging of packs during shipping.
