| The ESDA ESD standards overview course, that has been offered for years, mentions other related standards organizations, but only briefly, and not with the detail required to thoroughly answer any proposed questions from those other documents. Most of these other documents have had an impact on the field of electrostatics. This new course provides more details on those other related standards and other publications to help prepare students interested in pursuing iNARTE certified ESD engineer or iNARTE certified ESD technician designations, and may also help the ESD certified professional program manager.
These other standards developing organizations include: the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Semiconductor Equipment and Material International (SEMI), US Military, ASTM, JEDEC, Electronic Industry Alliance (EIA – operations terminated), IEEE, IEC, JEITA, ANSI and AEC. Standards, test methods, and related information produced by these other global entities are discussed. The requirements, specifications, applications, instrumentation, and basic procedures/methods will be covered and differences where relevant will be pointed out. The student attending this tutorial will have an understanding of the other organizations and their documents and what is important about them in the field of electrostatics.
