Electrostatic Discharge (ESD Clause Samples

The Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) clause establishes requirements and standards to prevent damage caused by static electricity during the handling, manufacturing, or assembly of sensitive electronic components. Typically, this clause mandates the use of ESD-safe workstations, grounding procedures, and protective equipment such as wrist straps or antistatic mats when working with susceptible devices. Its core function is to minimize the risk of product failure or defects due to electrostatic discharge, thereby ensuring product reliability and reducing costly repairs or replacements.
