Electrostatic Charging of Persons

Every person with a non-conductive connection to the electrical potential of
its surroundings can be charged electrostatically.

Figure B-1 shows you the maximum values for electrostatic voltages which
can build up on a person coming into contact with the materials indicated in
the figure. These values are in conformity with the specifications of
IEC 801-2.
