LONDON – A UK tech organization on May 12 will host a webinar on complying with electrostatic discharge specifications.

Produced by Smart Group, "ESD Three Steps to Heaven" provides an overview of what is required for compliance with ESD control standards 61340-5-1 and ESD S20:20. The three main topics include planning for ESD control; selecting ESD control equipment and checking that it still works; and ESD training.

A new version of ESD S20:20 was published in 2014, and a new version of IEC 61340-5-1 is expected in 2016. To comply with these standards, users are expected to write an ESD control program to suit their facility and processes. As each site may implement different ESD control measures, documentation is an essential requirement. Equipment used for ESD control must be selected to do the job intended, and regular testing is needed to ensure it continues to work according to plan.
