WHY ARE INDIVIDUAL ESD CERTIFICATION PROGRAMS NEEDED?
Electronic industry losses due
to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) are estimated in excess
of $90 Billion USD. As devices become smaller, faster
and more sensitive to ESD its impact on quality, productivity,
reliability, warranty costs and profitability is growing
to significant levels. ESD has become an important part
of the manufacturing process to the extent that major
multinational OEM companies, device manufacturers, government
and military agencies require compliance or facility
certification to international ESD Control Program standards.
