Pouches covered by the requirements of this specification are intended for the packaging of electronic components, circuit boards, and assemblies sensitive to the damaging effect of electrostatic force and also intended for packaging Electra-explosive devices, ignites, actuators and propellants. The pouches are designed for use as interior packages directly in contact with the contained part. Where additional cushioning, electromagnetic radiation shielding, or water vapor proof barriers are required, they shall be used only outside the pouches, not inside them. The pouches may be used during assembly, handling, storage, and shipment of any static-sensitive item.
