HBM has different standards (targets) for an IC and is typically 2000V to 4000V simulating the charge that a human body can accumulate and then discharge into an IC by touching one of the pins. Modern IC assembly does not use humans in contact with the ICs but the HBM is still a major qualification requirement.
It is simulated by a current pulse to a maximum in 10nSecs and a slow decay over 100+ nSecs. Depending on the IC the current from the 2-4kV can be upto 2 Amps.
