Electrostatic packaging

Do I need to take caution will opening and handling components? Charge pumps inside.

General ESD precautions should be followed. If you humidity is above 40%, it's less of a concern but charge pump, fets and BBDs are prone to failure/damage from ESD. Assuming you aren't wearing clothing that builds up static, simply grounding yourself before grabbing sensitive components is usually a "good enough " practice.

When anyone here who has a doubt about ESD or is interested in ESD has time, I suggest watching this

It's an hour and 20 minutes but a very, very very good presentation.

Edit. It's also the most entertaining one probably ever made. It also covers the somewhat discovery of ESD, which is phenomenal and sad.
