Standards
Different organisations are involved in the specification of ESD measurement, verification and validation regulations and standards, respectively. The most important are summarized below:
| Link | Organisation |
|---|---|
| AEC | Automotive Electronics Council |
| DIN | Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. |
| ESDA | EOS/ESD Association |
| JEDEC | JEDEC Solid State Technology Association (Joint Electron Device Engineering Council) |
| IEC | International Electrotechnical Commission |
| ISO | International Organization for Standardization |
| ANSI | American National Standards Institute |
| SAE | SAE International (Society of Automotive Engineers) |
In addition, military applications are covered by the MIL-Standards as they are called.
All these standards can be divided into 2 main groups:
- ESD-Control: Standards addressing the handling of ESD-sensitive components and systems
- ESD-Protection: Standards addressing the validation of ESD-sensitive components and systems.
