ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE/ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE CODE: A ONE POSITION CODE USED TO INDICATE WHETHER AN ITEM IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE OR ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE DAMAGE. ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE DAMAGE OCCURS WHEN AN ACCUMULATION OF STATIC ELECTRICITY GENERATED BY THE RELATIVE MOTION OR SEPARATION OF MATERIALS IS RELEASED TO ANOTHER ITEM BY DIRECT CONTACT. ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE DAMAGE OCCURS WHEN AN ITEM COMES INTO PROXIMITY WITH AN ELECTROSTATIC OR MAGNETIC FIELD. SEE VOLUME 10, TABLE 189 AND QUICK INFO ON-LINE.
