ESD Compliance Verification or ESD Auditing

One of the responsibilities of an ESD Coordinator is to verify the effectiveness of the ESD Control program of his organization.
The only way to do that is by conducting an ESD Compliance verification or conducting an ESD audit.

ESD coordinator is required to plan out the ESD auditing activity. The ESD Compliance verification or ESD audit plan should at least contain information of where and when the audit to be conducted.

The ESD audit plan should be communicated to the organization about the planned ESD audit. Area manager should assign an auditee during the ESD audit when ESD Control program plan compliance verification is done.

Effectiveness of the ESD audit would not be successfully evaluated without a proper ESD Audit Checklist.

ESD coordinator should plan out the ESD audit checklist ahead before conducting the ESD audit. The ESD audit checklist should cover both the verification compliance of the ESD Control program plan Technical elements and the general requirements of the ESD Control program plan.

The ESD audit results should be analyzed in statistical manner and trend of results should be studied.
The ESD audit results should also be communicated to the Managements of the organization and support from the Managements should be sought to ensure the ESD Control program is running effectively.

Besides conducting a formal ESD Compliance verification or ESD audit periodically, the effectiveness of the ESD Control program could be further enhanced when an informal or a surprise audit is carried out.

In general, ESD Compliance verification or ESD auditing should not be taken lightly, rather it should be given utmost attention and seen as a very important tool to improve the organization’s ESD Control Program.
