ABSTRACT: When using TR-NWT-000870, you may want to refer to EOS/ESD-S1and/or EOS/ESD-S2.

This Technical Reference (TR) presents the Telcordia view of generic requirements for the control of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) in telecommunications equipment and component manufacturing plants. This document contains ESD control requirements that are intended to minimize the adverse impact of ESD on the quality and reliability of telecommunications systems purchased by Local Exchange Carriers (LECs), Interexchange Carriers (ICs), or other service providers. The TR also applies to internal ESD control measures in such locations as Plug-in Inventory Control (PIC) centers.

TR-NWT-000870 replaced TA-TSY-000870 and TR-TSY-000382.
