S20.20 Overview
ANSI/ESD S 20.20 and E SD T R 20.20- Handbook
 S20.20 Overview
• Applies to all activities from
device level packaging to field
service

• Level of control to 100 volts HBM

• Guidance provided for more

sensitive parts and applications
– (Handbook available from ESD
Association)
 S20.20 Overview
A. All conductors in the environment, including
personnel, must be bonded or electrically
connected and attached to a known ground or
contrived ground (as on shipboard or on
aircraft).
 S20.20 Overview
B. Assessment of the ESD hazard created by
electrostatic charges on the necessary non-
conductors in the work place is required.
 S20.20 Overview
C. Transportation of ESDS items outside an
Electrostatic Protected Area requires enclosure
in static protective materials.
 S20.20 Overview

• Evaluate your current ESD

Control Procedures
against
industry standards
• Compare material
specifications to current
specifications
• Compare test methods and
specifications to current
test methods

Requirements
Section 6.2
ESD Control Program Technical
Requirements
 Administrative and Technical
Elements
• Administrative and Technical Elements are
contained within a properly written ESD
Control Program Plan. The “Plan” contains
the following Elements:
– ESD Control Plan
– Training Plan
– Compliance Verification Plan
– Detailed Technical Elements
 Compliance Verification Plan
• Identify the requirements that must be
verified – Technical elements in the
Plan
• Establish the frequency and type of
verification that must occur (internal
and external audits, certification etc.).
• Select appropriate test equipment based
on industry standards.
 Protected Areas
• Protected area design depends on application.
• Area must be marked with proper signage.
• Access to Protected Area limited to trained
personnel only. Untrained personnel must be
escorted by trained personnel.
• Removal of all nonessential insulators required.
• Ionization or charge mitigating techniques
required to neutralize charge on essential
insulators if the charge level is considered a threat.

 Protected Area Definition
• EPA (Electrostatic Protected Area):
– A defined location with the necessary
materials, tools and equipment capable of
controlling static electricity on all items
entering or used within specified boundaries.
 Packaging
• ESD Protective Packaging and
package marking must be in
accordance with customer
requirements.
• If not defined by contract, purchase
order, drawing or customer
documentation, the Plan needs to
define the protective packaging
requirements.
 Packaging
• Packaging shall be defined for all material
movement within Protected areas, between
job sites and within field service operations.
 Packaging Considerations
• The type of packaging used depends on sensitivity
of items and where the parts are going.
– The intent of ESD protective packaging is to prevent a
direct electrostatic discharge from affecting packaged
parts, allow for dissipation of charge from the package
exterior, and minimize charging of the packaged items
from external electrostatic fields and
triboelectrification.
 Implementing S20.20 in your
Facility
• Get ANSI/ESD S20.20 (www.esda.org)
• Document review to determine status
• Write your own program according to
your applications
• Incorporate changes
• Train employees
• Pre-Assessment Audit
What’s New in Certification?

• Add on to back of ISO 9000 audit

• Some vendors/suppliers qualified
to do pre-assessment (based on
experience)
• Additional Registrars coming on
board
 What’s New in Certification
• Authorized Registrars
ESD S20.20
– Det Norske Veritas (DNV)
– BSi
– QMI
– NQA
– LRQA (Pending)
• (Watch the ESDA web site for new
Registrars)
 Earning Certification to S20.20
• ISO 9000-2000 style
auditing
• ISO Registrars conduct
audit
• Certification granted by
Registrar and ESD
Association
• Only ISO Registrar can
certify
