What are ESD Chairs, and which one is right for you?

ESD seating is designed for use in locations where sensitive electronic components are exposed. Typically, workplaces use them as part of an ESD-safe workstation. Common in areas such as electronics manufacturing, semiconductor production and laboratories.

Positives of ESD-safe chairs

They prevent the build-up of static electricity that may discharge into sensitive components.
Often equipped with conductive castors that connect to ground flooring mats.
The upholstery and wheels allow for safe dissipation.
Ergonomic design for correct posture and added comfort.
Enhances your workplace safety, lowering the risk of fires or explosions.
Complies with ESD standards

When would you require an anti-static chair?

A static discharge as small as 10 volts, can damage sensitive electronics. When working on things such as microchips, circuit boards, microprocessors, diodes, sensors and many more. The tiny parts inside the components can be destroyed, making them extremely vulnerable.

How does it work?

The seat and backrest have conductive or static dissipative materials. These allow for static electricity to flow through them safely, rather than building up. Humans create static charge; therefore, they can transfer this to electrical components. However, when using ESD seating, as soon as the individual sits on the chair, the charge is transferred to the chair through contact with the conductive materials.

Creating an EPA

An EPA is an electrostatic protected area. Areas like this are important when completing work with sensitive electrical components. ESD stools and chairs can add to this area to ensure it is safe. We also provide ESD Workbenches to add to your environment.

EPA checklist:

Find a suitable location that is clean and dry, avoiding carpeted areas.
Install an ESD Workbench
Use ESD Mats if users will be standing
Use grounding equipment such as wrist straps
Control your ESD environment, only allowing trained personnel into the area, and use ESD-safe tools
Use ESD-safe clothing if needed, such as lab coats, gloves or hair nets
Mark the EPA to ensure others are aware that this is a protected area

European standards and compliance

Our chairs comply with EN 61340-5-1:2001. This is a European standard that specifies requirements for controlling electrostatic discharge. To meet this requirement, the products must undergo specific testing to verify that they meet the standards. These are:

Resistance to ground - This ensures that static charge can safely flow to the ground

Point-to-point resistant - Confirms the uniformity of surface resistivity

Discharge time - How quickly an item can dissipate static charge

Body voltage generation - The voltage generated on a person when walking or sitting using ESD-safe products

Compliance verification testing - periodic tests to maintain compliance
