ANSI/ESD S20.20:2021 and IEC 61340-5-1 are globally recognized standards for controlling electrostatic discharge (ESD) in sensitive environments such as electronics manufacturing and handling. ANSI/ESD S20.20:2021, developed by the Electrostatic Discharge Association (ESDA), provides requirements for creating an ESD control program to protect electronic components from damage caused by static electricity. IEC 61340-5-1, developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), is an international counterpart that aligns closely with ANSI/ESD S20.20, ensuring a standardized approach to ESD protection worldwide.

These standards define key elements of an effective ESD control system, including grounding, personnel handling procedures, and the use of protective equipment such as wrist straps, floor mats, and ionizers. They emphasize risk assessment and compliance verification, ensuring that organizations implement proper safeguards to prevent costly failures in electronic components. The 2021 revision of ANSI/ESD S20.20 introduced updates to improve risk-based assessment methodologies and align with evolving industry needs.

Compliance with ANSI/ESD S20.20:2021 and IEC 61340-5-1 is essential for industries dealing with static-sensitive components, such as semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace, and telecommunications. Organizations that adopt these standards benefit from improved product reliability, reduced failure rates, and enhanced quality assurance. 

The course has been designed to fulfil the following objectives:

• Increase Organizational ESD awareness
• Improves overall process performance and control products
• Decrease failure rate, minimize rework and reduce expenses
• Provides alignment with electronics industry peers
• Offers visible proof to your customer during site visit
• ESD control (proper clothing, grounded tables, signage, etc.)
• Creates a competitive advantage and increase marketability
• Reduce rejects and scrap cost
• Increase product durability
