What is the ESD certification process?
With the continuous development of technology, electronic devices have become an indispensable part of our lives. However, due to the high sensitivity of electronic devices to static electricity, static electricity has become an important factor affecting the reliability of electronic devices. In order to ensure the reliability and stability of electronic equipment, many countries and organizations have developed ESD protection standards and certification requirements. Among them, ESD (electrostatic discharge) certification is the most widely used of them. This article will introduce the ESD certification process in detail.
1. Understand the standards and requirements.
Before proceeding with ESD certification, it is first necessary to understand the relevant standards and requirements. For example, MIL-STD-1686A, MIL-STD-1686B, ESD S20Class 20 is a common electrostatic discharge standard. In addition, it is also necessary to understand the requirements and processes of the certification body to ensure a smooth certification.
2. Choose the right certification body.
Choosing the right certification body is an important part of the ESD certification process. Certification bodies need to have the appropriate qualifications and credibility to provide accurate and impartial certification services. Common ESD certification bodies include JANET, ECIA, ESDA, etc.
3. Submission of application and preparation of materials.
After choosing a certification body, you need to submit an application and prepare relevant documents. In the application, you need to provide the basic information of the enterprise, product information and other materials required for certification. At the same time, it is also necessary to prepare the electrostatic discharge test report of the product to prove that the product meets the corresponding standards and requirements.
4. Testing and Review.
After receiving the application and information, the certification body will test and review the product. The test mainly includes the electrostatic discharge immunity test and performance test of the product. During the test, the certification body conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the performance and reliability of the product and records the test results. After the test is completed, the certification body will review the application materials and test results to determine whether the product meets the corresponding standards and requirements.
5. Obtain certificates and marks.
If the product passes the test and audit, the certification body will issue an ESD certification certificate and mark. Certificates and marks can be used for product packaging, publicity and sales to prove that the product meets the corresponding standards and requirements. At the same time, obtaining ESD electrostatic certification can also improve the credibility and market competitiveness of the enterprise.
In conclusion, ESD certification is an important means to ensure the reliability and stability of electronic devices. By understanding the standards and requirements, selecting the appropriate certification body, submitting applications and preparing documents, testing and reviewing, and obtaining certificates and marks, the ESD certification can be successfully completed and the product quality and market competitiveness of the enterprise can be improved.
