| Shipping electronic parts within a factory,
to another factory, distributor, or to an end-user has always been
an area of uncertainty within the manufacturing process. To provide
clear-cut information on what type of controlled packaging should
be used in any situation, the ESD Association has recently released
a comprehensive revision of the obsolete industry standard EIA 541-1988.
The new document, ESD S541, is the focus of this session. It provides
information and guidance, as well as material specifications, to assist
in the design and implementation of a packaging plan for use within
an ANSI/ESD S20.20 based ESD control program. Current and newly released
test method standards suitable for packaging material evaluation will
be described. Course credit applies to the ESD Certified Professional-Program
Manager certification curriculum. |
