Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) audits are intended to ensure the safety and compliance with regulations of the soldering operations, as well as the quality of the products and the efficiency of the soldering process.
It is a fundamental step to ensure a safe working environment, increase the productivity and the overall efficiency of a production process that involves soldering operations.
Our methodology
- Define the scope of the audit together with the customer.
- Select the areas that need to be tested and documented.
- Run the audit by trained auditors.
- Create the report based on results obtained.
- Draw a list of recommendations for the customer.
- Final review with the customer.
Example of audits that can be made in Nufesa-Labs
IPC-A-600, an audit on workmanship quality in relation to printed boards.
IPC-A-610, an audit related to the final inspection before the circuit board with its soldered components is sent to the customer.
IEC 61340-5-1, a technical report about electrostatic phenomenon on electronic devices. Its aim is to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damages during handling, manufacturing, storage, and transportation of electronic components and devices.
IEC 61340-2-3, a report on testing methods to evaluate the resistance of materials used to prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charge.
