IECQ ESD compliance - shockproofing excellence.
Electrostatic discharge control (ESD), to IEC 61340-5-1
The standard, IEC 61340-5-1, outlines the guidelines for establishing, implementing, and maintaining an ESD control programme.
The IECQ ESD control programme aims to minimize the risk of ESD damage during the handling, manufacturing, storage, and transportation of electronic components and devices. The standard provides a framework for controlling ESD in various industries, including electronics manufacturing, aerospace, medical devices, and automotive.
The IECQ ESD control programme includes various measures such as training, grounding, bonding, and packaging to prevent the accumulation and discharge of static electricity. It also outlines requirements for equipment and tools used in ESD-sensitive environments, as well as the monitoring and testing of ESD control measures.
Overall, the IECQ ESD control programme is essential to ensuring the reliability and performance of electronic components and devices and minimizing the costs associated with ESD damage.
