ANSI/ESD S20.20 Program Assessment

The standard was developed by the ESD Association for industry and the military, in support of an expressed need for a comprehensive electrostatic discharge (ESD) program design. The standard provides manufacturers and electronics users with an effective ESD control program framework that defines minimum requirements for enhancing product reliability and productivity.

PROCESS Simco-Ion experts assess compliance with plan elements. Steps in the compliance assessment process require development of an ESD control plan based on S20.20 and are tied into your facility quality control program, such as ISO 9000. Implementation of the Plan may then take place with training and installation of ESD controls. In the final step we develop and begin Plan inspections and audits. These steps prepare you to pursue facility certification.
