Overview

EOS/ESD Association, Inc. Fact Sheet

EOS/ESD Association, Inc. began with fewer than 100 members, and has now grown to over 15,869 members and volunteers throughout the world. Initially focusing on ESD on electronic components, the Association has broadened its horizons to include areas such as textiles, plastics, web processing, cleanrooms, and graphic arts. To meet the needs of a continually changing environment, EOS/ESD Association, Inc. is chartered to expand ESD awareness through standards, development, education programs, local chapters, publications, tutorials, certification, and symposia. It is the only organization accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to write and produce standards on electrostatics.
