The inertia in the committee that studies ESD is very large indeed. No-one wants to have to throw away all their test gear and buy new, and no-one wants to re-test and debug running products. As long as the current standard keeps field returns for ESD damage to an acceptable minimum, it won't be changed.

The question, 'Cui bono?' ought to be asked a lot in EMC committees.

Re: [PSES] ESD question What with Doug Smith being active in this sort of standard writing activity, I doubt it’s simply inertia.

    ESD question Anyone out there know the origins of the 150 pF/330
    ohm gun model used in EN61000-4-2 and derivative standards? It
    seems it ought to be a human body model, but it isn't.
