Scope
This standard applies to materials used in packaging moisture sensitive, plastic, surface mountable electronic dcvices during shipping and storage.

The appropriate level of moisture protection shall be determined by the user's or manufacturer's requirements. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection may also be of concern in moisture barrier packaging applications but is not within the scope of this standard.
