What is the official standard procedure for computer hardware professionals for avoiding ESD damage to components?
In short, there isn’t one. But there are many elements that are more are less likely to help… starting with an ESD wrist strap and/or a properly grounded grounding mat. Other elements may include ensuring nothing is plugged in, standing instead of sitting, wearing not static clothing and using fabric softeners, removing jewelery, not working during storms, having proper humidity levels, etc. You can really go overboard with it. To me, and I built and fixed machines for decades (ugh), anything more than a wrist strap or periodically touching a grounded surface is overkill unless it’s particularly sensitive hardware.
