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.
