Read this article in: German English

In August 2007 the following new editions of ESD standards were released:

IEC 61340-5-1 Edition 1.0 (2007-08) INTERNATIONAL STANDARD
  Electrostatics – Part 5-1: Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena – General requirements

IEC/TR 61340-5-2 Edition 1.0 (2007-08) TECHNICAL REPORT
  Electrostatics – Part 5-2: Protection of electronic devices from electrostatic phenomena – User Guide

The IEC document IEC 61340-5-1/TR2 (1998-12) was a „Technical Report Type 2“ and not an International Standard. The new edition of the IEC 61340-5-1 Ed. 1.0 (2007-08) is now a worldwide accepted International Standard.
