ESD coordinator training

The ESD coordinator plays a central role in the implementation, monitoring and further development of the ESD protection concept in the company. As the interface between the technical standard and practical application, they ensure that all ESD-relevant processes are planned, documented and monitored in accordance with the standard.

Become an ESD coordinator

The ESD coordinator training course teaches all the essential basics of ESD protection in electronics production in accordance with the ESD standard IEC / DIN EN 61340-5-1. Previous knowledge of ESD basics is an advantage, but not required. Participants learn about the most important ESD standards, physical properties of electrostatics, ESD protection measures and labelling in an ESD protection zone (EPA) and acquire a sound knowledge of ESD protection. In addition, participants will gain extensive expertise in standardised measurements, types of measuring equipment and standards as well as their practical application in practice.
