               1. A method for classifying solder particles, the method comprising: 
            a first step of forming an electric field between a first electrode and a second electrode included in an electrostatic attraction device, the first electrode having a disposition part having electrostatic diffusivity or electrical conductivity, the second electrode having an attraction part having electrical insulation properties, which faces the disposition part and is provided with a plurality of opening parts opened to the disposition part side, so as to cause solder particles P disposed on the disposition part to be electrostatically attracted to the attraction part; 
                a second step of removing solder particles P2 that are attracted to the attraction part and are not accommodated in the opening parts, from the attraction part; and 
                a third step of collecting solder particles P1 accommodated in the opening parts, from the attraction part that has been subjected to the second step, 
                wherein the solder particles P have an average particle size of 10 μm or more.
