ESD Training Course – ANSI/ESD S20.20:2021

The ESD Association Standard for the Development of an Electrostatic Discharge Control Program and Independent Conformity Assessment of an Organization’s ESD Control System within the EPA

The objective of the ANSI/ESD S20.20:2021 Training Course (Electrostatic Discharge Control Program Standard) delivered by VINTECOM International is to help organizations and electronic equipment manufacturers establish and maintain an electrostatic discharge (ESD) control management system that meets the requirements of the ESD Association Standard for the Development of an ESD Control Program.

The program covers ESD control plans, product quality assessment, and verification and validation of the ESD Control Program in accordance with international standards, supporting organizations in meeting the requirements for participation in the electronic component supply chain.

➡️ Main Training Objectives

1. Understanding and applying ANSI/ESD S20.20:2021

Provide an overview of the latest requirements introduced in the 2021 edition of the standard.
Clearly explain electrostatic concepts and the harmful effects of ESD on Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Devices (ESDS).
Interpret the requirements for an ESD control management system in a manufacturing environment.
Develop an ESD Control Program and ESD Control Plan, assess product quality, and verify and validate the level of conformity against the approved control plan.
Provide guidance on establishing ESD protection requirements, including grounding and equipotential bonding, ESD control items such as wrist straps, flooring, chairs, ionizers, and ESD protective packaging, in accordance with the technical requirements specified in Tables 1, 2, 3, and 4 of ANSI/ESD S20.20.
Design a safe and compliant Electrostatic Protected Area (EPA).

➡️ Independent Assessment of ESD Control System Conformity

In addition, VINTECOM conducts independent conformity assessments of organizations’ ESD control systems against ANSI/ESD S20.20 to ensure that manufactured and assembled products meet the applicable ESD control requirements and technical specifications of the standard. The assessment includes:

1. Document Review

Review relevant documents and records to ensure that the organization has adequately established and implemented its ESD control system, including:

a. ESD Control Program Plan

The overall ESD control program of the organization, covering:

Initial assessments.
Compliance verification.
Assessment of ESD control items.
ESD-sensitive incoming materials and items.
ESD-related process outputs and finished products.
Training activities.
Compliance monitoring.
Compliance verification.
Internal assessments and the quality of ESD-controlled product outputs.

b. ESD Control Plan

The ESD control measures implemented on the manufacturing floor, including wrist straps, ESD mats, flooring, ionizers, EPA controls, and other applicable measures.

c. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and Work Instructions

Procedures and work instructions governing ESD control activities throughout the EPA.

2. On-site Audit

Conduct on-site inspections at the factory or EPA production areas, including:

Assessment of ESD environmental conditions: inspection of static-dissipative and conductive materials, insulative materials, ESD handling and control equipment, flooring, chairs, workbenches, humidity, and other relevant environmental conditions.
Grounding and electrical resistance measurements: inspection of Protective Earth (PE) grounding and Functional Earth (FE) grounding, and measurement of surface resistance, wrist straps, ESD footwear, ESD mats, ionizers, and other ESD control equipment.
Personnel work practices: observation of employees’ actual working practices to assess compliance with ESD control principles and the practical application of the Human Body Model (HBM).
Measurement equipment and calibration records: inspection of ESD measurement instruments and relevant calibration records, including those related to ESD control and ESD discharge models such as CDM, MM, and others.
