If you want to have your facility certified to ANSI/ESD S20.20-2014, our Facility Certification Program is what you need. An ESDA-accredited ISO9000 certified body that has met the requirements of this program conducts the audit. The individual certification bodies set the certification and auditing costs, so you must contact a certification body directly to inquire about pricing. However, they all follow the same auditing process defined by EOS/ESD Association, Inc. You can find a list of all EOS/ESD Association, Inc. accredited certification bodies at https://www.esda.org/certification/eosesd-association-esd-facility-certification/ansiesd-s20-20-accredited-certification-bodies/. You can find more detailed information about Facility Certification here https://www.esda.org/certification/eosesd-association-esd-facility-certification/.

If you want to design, implement, and maintain an ESD Control Program, we offer the seminar FC340: ESD Program Development and Assessment (ANSI/ESD S20.20). This seminar provides instruction on designing and implementing an ESD control program based on ANSI/ESD S20.20. The course provides participants with the tools and techniques to prepare for an ESD facility audit. Please note that this class DOES NOT certify you to ANSI/ESD S20.20. The seminar is available in-person (visit https://www.esda.org/events/ for upcoming offerings) or online (purchase access at https://www.esda.org/store/training-and-education/product/351/esd-program-development-and-assessment-ansiesd-s20-20-seminar-fc340).

Get your certificate of ESD Compliance to indicate that you or your technicians are trained and you hold a credential from the experts on static control. As the world leader in Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) knowledge, we are the third party most qualified to teach and audit your business on ESD controls. For more detailed information, please visit https://www.esda.org/certification/esd-certificate-of-compliance/.

Our operator training is intended to give the basic information your employees should have regarding implementing an ESD Control program and help them understand their role in protecting the ESD sensitive items they are working on daily. There is a knowledge assessment at the end of the training video.
