Why is ESD training so important?

In an ESD protection zone, people who work there must adhere to certain rules of behaviour to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, particularly to ESD-sensitive electronic components. Successful compliance with effective ESD protection requires sensitising employees to the topic of ESD so that they understand the need for protective measures and comply with them.

To protect against damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) in the electronics processing industry, international experts have developed standards that define the principles of ESD protection. The content of our training programme consistently follows the standards IEC 61340-5-1:2016 and the German edition DIN EN 61340-5-1:2016.

Why attend an ESD training course at Weidinger?
