Understand current practice and the action needed.
We review selected workstations, production areas or equipment against agreed requirements and applicable ESD standards.
We plan the visit with you and your ESD coordinator. Specialist advice and electrical measurements connect the review of documentation with daily operations.
How a review works
- Agree requirements and scope in an initial discussion.
- Review the existing ESD control programme plan.
- Visit the agreed areas and involve employees.
- Carry out measurements using calibrated equipment.
- Evaluate and document the findings together.
Questions we address
A review can be useful when setting up or changing an ESD area, investigating unusual readings or preparing for a customer audit.
- Do documented measures match what happens in practice?
- Which workstations, materials and personnel grounding systems need measurement?
- Which findings call for further investigation or adjusted measures?
We agree the scope, measurement points and assessment criteria in advance. Verification of existing protection measures is distinct from qualification of new products.
Process-specific ESD risk assessment
For particularly sensitive components or unclear failure causes, we examine actual handling in the process. We investigate potentials and possible discharges and compare the findings with available component sensitivity data. Together we assess suitable additional measures or investigations.
Gap assessment or certification audit?
A gap assessment focuses on selected areas and practical improvements. An ESD certification audit examines the entire control programme, from controlled documents and regular checks to implementation in production and goods dispatch.
Following a successful certification audit, Stat-X Deutschland, acting as an independent third party, issues a certificate confirming conformity of the assessed ESD protection system with IEC 61340-5-1. The site, audit scope and required evidence are agreed in advance.
For your enquiry
Please provide your location, the size and use of the areas, your ESD control programme plan and available measurement reports. Access arrangements and a suitable date are agreed with you.
Your result
A documented assessment of the current situation and a measurement report to support evaluation and development of your protection measures.
