FOREWORD
This standard covers the requirements necessary to establish, implement, and maintain an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) control program for activities that manufacture, process, assemble,
install, transport, package, label, service, test, inspect, or otherwise handle electrical or electronic
parts, assemblies, and equipment susceptible to damage by electrostatic discharges greater than
or equal to 100 volts human body model (HBM) and 200 volts charged device model (CDM). The
CDM voltage level used in this document is based on managing process essential insulators to
mitigate field-induced voltages on devices that could lead to damage.
This standard also defines the requirements for isolated conductors. The reference to machine
model (MM) is retained in this standard for the historical association to the MM robustness of
devices to isolated conductors.
HBM and CDM fully characterize the ESD robustness of devices. Therefore, MM testing is no longer
required to qualify devices, and test data may not be available.
This document covers the ESD control program requirements for establishing a program to handle
ESD sensitive (ESDS) items based on the historical experience of both military and commercial
organizations. References include EOS/ESD Association, U.S. Military, and ANSI approved
standards for material properties and test methods. The fundamental ESD control principles that
form the basis of this document are:
A. All conductors in the environment, including personnel, shall be bonded or electrically
connected and attached to a known ground or contrived ground (as on shipboard or aircraft).
This attachment creates an equipotential balance between all items and personnel.
Electrostatic protection can be maintained at a potential above a "zero" voltage ground potential
if all items in the system are at the same potential.
B. Process essential insulators in the environment cannot lose their electrostatic charge by
attachment to ground. Ionization systems provide neutralization of charge on these process
essential insulators (circuit board materials and some device packages are examples of
necessary insulators). Assessment of the ESD hazard created by electrostatic charge on the
process essential insulators in the workplace is required to ensure that appropriate actions are
implemented, commensurate with the risk to ESDS items.
C. Transportation of ESDS items necessitates enclosures in protective materials, although the
type of material depends on the situation and destination. While these materials are not
discussed in the document, it is important to recognize the differences in applications. For more
clarification, see ANSI/ESD S541.
Any relative motion and physical separation of materials or flow of solids, liquids, or particle-laden
gases can generate an electrostatic charge. Common sources of electrostatic charge include
personnel, items made from common polymeric materials, and processing equipment. ESD
damage can occur in several ways, including:
i. A charged object (including a person) coming into contact with an ESDS item.
ii. A charged ESDS item making contact with ground or another conductive object at a different
potential.
iii. An ESDS item making contact with ground or another conductive object while exposed to an
electrostatic field.
Examples of ESDS items include, but are not limited to, microcircuits, discrete semiconductors,
thick and thin film resistors, hybrid devices, printed circuit boards, and piezoelectric crystals. It is
possible to determine device and item susceptibility by exposing the item to simulated ESD events.
The level of sensitivity, determined by testing using simulated ESD events, may not necessarily
relate to the level of sensitivity in a real-life situation. However, the sensitivity levels are used to
establish a baseline of susceptibility data to compare devices with equivalent part numbers from
different manufacturers. Two different models are used for the characterization of electronic items:
HBM and CDM.

For more information on the requirements in this standard, there is a technical report, ESD TR20.20
– ESD Association Technical Report – Handbook for the Development of an Electrostatic Discharge
Control Program for the Protection of Electronic Parts, Assemblies, and Equipment.
Compliance with this standard can be demonstrated through third-party certification. The
certification process is like any quality management system certification such as ISO 9001.
Information on the certification process can be obtained by contacting an EOS/ESD Association,
Inc. approved certification body. For a list of EOS/ESD Association, Inc. approved certification
bodies, see www.esda.org.
