How to simplify your current ESD Control system?

Does your organization involve in manufacturing, assembling, testing, reworking or packaging of ESD sensitive items?

If the answer is yes, then you definitely already have some kind of ESD control system in place in your organization.

If the ESD control system is not yet available, then you need to set up an ESD control system for your organization.

ANSI/ESD S20.20 / IEC 61340-5-1

The availability of ANSI/ESD S20.20 or IEC 61340-5-1 standard has made the task of setting up of an ESD control system easy.

The requirements have been systematically laid out in the ESD industry standards and you just need to implement all those requirements.

ANSI/ESD S20.20 standard can be obtained for FREE from esda.org. This standard is widely practiced by most organizations in the world except those in Europe where IEC 61340-5-1 standard is practiced.

Both standards almost have the same requirements. You can use either standard; it all depends on your customer’s requirement or your organization’s policy.

Implementing the standard will help to simplify your job in setting up the ESD control system for your organization.

You can also help your organization to become certified to ANSI/ESD S20.20/ IEC 61340-5-1. For more info on facility certification, visit S20.20 Accredited Certification Bodies.
